I have acquired quite a few pieces over the last month, but have been slow to get them posted.  Hard when the weather is nice – I’d rather be in the garden!  However the snow today is rather discouraging……..so on to the new posts……..I found this figure of Bacchante recently.  The shape is quite unusual – at least to me.  A large water goblet, or more likely a brandy or scotch glass.  This figure has both arms raised and no grapes hiding the salicious bits.

I think this is to  the Bacchante figure, but if someone else knows differently I’d be happy to be corrected.

This is a fun stem from the French company Bayel.  The male figure is named Bacchus and the female stem (I don’t have any, yet) is called Bacchante.

The stem is frosted, with a clear bowl.  The figure is nude with grape wreath wrapped around it.

There are a number of different pieces, but I think I will be happy with just this one.  I have another one coming in the mail – just to have a happy matched pair!
