| Provenance: |
Acquired by us in 2018 from the Germany private individual U. Kuehn. Inherited in 2018 from the German private collection Schulz. Mr. & Mrs. Schulz built their respectable collection between the late 1960ies and early 1970ies. Due to their broad interest and focus on aesthetics the collection spanned pre-historic artefacts, as well as ancient and ethnographic art. This glass has probably been acquired around 1970 on the English art market.
