Reliquary

A reliquary is a container of sacred relics. This example has suspension loops, a lid, and a finial. See 360˚ photography and learn more about this object in The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking by William Gudenrath renvenetian.cmog.org/object/re...
The Venetian glass industry enjoyed a golden age during the Renaissance. By the early 1500s, the wonders of Venetian glass were well known throughout western Europe. Not well known, however, was how these objects were made. Until now. The result of 30+ years of research by William Gudenrath, The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking - renvenetian.cmog.org - presents 35 complete reconstructions of Venetian glassmaking techniques through detailed 360˚ photography and high-definition video.

What's the difference between a merese and an avolio?

[@corningmuseumofglass]

A merese connects the bowl and the stem of the goblet, while the avolio connects the stem and the foot of the goblet or similar form. www.cmog.org/glass-dictionary/merese www.cmog.org/glass-dictionary/avolio
