We offer this for documentation as an historic, quite lovely, one-of-a-kind, documented piece of Rare 19th Century Salviati Venetian glass. Provenance is simple as this piece remained within the family of the original owners from the time of manufacture in the late 19th Century, until purchased by Barclay Galleries, in 2004. This and the pieces pictured on our Home page, were part of a large collection owned and cared for by the family of one of Oklahoma's First Territorial Congressmen (that's before Oklahoma became a state and was still a young territory!). The home where these pieces resided, in Oklahoma City's historical residential district, "Heritage Hills," was built, owned, and lived in by the same family until its recent sale. A Tulsa family now owns the bulk of the collection (about 75 pieces), and they have plans to leave it to a museum. We hope you've enjoyed reading about this beautiful piece, and invite you to search under "historical" to see and read about other interesting pieces of Venetian glass, as well as visit our glass blog via the link at the bottom of our home page.
