The bowl was shaken to hot fix the two busts which are connected to the bowls even with the arms in the figurehead position. The bowl is in transparent glass and the rest in highly iridescent black glass. The hair has gold leaf applied. The attribution to Ercole Barovier is indirect as it comes from the same lot as the other Ercole Barovier pieces. Very rare with naked body (typical of the figurehead). The owner called it Coppa Moresca. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
