The May Dance, early 19th-century glass figurine group
A miniature lampwork glass group shows four figures dancing around a flowering tree on a grassy base. Two women in pale gowns and a man in green jacket and yellow breeches join a garland of pink-tipped blossoms, while a fourth figure in green stands beside them. The base bears a line of script in white and green glass.
