Veneto Saracenic
Veneto Saracenic refers to a large group of 15th and 16th century metal ware, primarily in European collections. It is attributed to Muslims artists working in Venice. Such ware is domestic in nature and includes bowls, spherical incense burner and candlesticks. They are made of bronze or brass and are usually inlaid with geometric or arabesque motifs in silver, with occasional traces of gold and frequent additions of a black compound.
