Twisted stem glass with a wedding scene Garland glass with a man and a woman, reaching out to each other above an altar, conical foot with pontil brand. The trunk made up of a baluster and two nodi. A double white pendulum in the baluster. Funnel-shaped chalice rounded at the bottom. The chalice depicts a man and a woman who reach out to each other above an altar with a burning heart on it. Above the scene a halo from which God pours out a cornucopia. Below the altar two turtle doves, a torch, a bundle of arrows and a bow. Next to the man a rose and next to the woman a lily. On the reverse
