| Object history | Enamelling in this style has been attributed to the workshop of Osvaldo Brussa, whose portrait (painted late in the 18th century) shows him holding a beaker decorated with a goldfinch. However, the nature of the decoration and glass here are quite different in character to other work more certainly attributed to Brussa. |
| Production | Tony North 16-12-1992: mount 'modern'. Enamelling in this style has been attributed to the workshop of Osvaldo Brussa. |
