"Salver" is an oval, etched glass serving tray created by Reinhold Vasters, a German glassmaker, and is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Created between 1585 and 1899, it is a fine example of the intricate craftsmanship of the period, featuring delicate floral motifs and a refined, ornate design, characteristic of European decorative arts. The piece is a testament to the enduring appeal of glassmaking and its place in decorative arts history.
