Enveloped in gold and crafted with delicacy, this free-blown glass saucer exemplifies the technical finesse and aesthetic sophistication that flourished under imperial patronage. The design blossoms from a central floral medallion, its gilded petals radiating in perfect symmetry. What sets this piece apart is its striking use of blue-painted accents, interspersed between the gilded motifs in a rhythmic alternation that adds dramatic contrast to the design. The rim features a refined border, painted and gilded with repeating scalloped motifs. Though minor chipping marks its edge, these signs of age only heighten its aura—evidence of a legacy both fragile and enduring. A similar example is published in Mughal Glass, p. 245.
