This 17th-century wine glass, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a beautiful example of engraved glass. The delicate design features a portrait of King William III, wearing a crown and surrounded by intricate detailing. This type of decorative engraving was popular during the late 17th century and early 18th century, often used to commemorate important figures or events. The glass itself is of a typical, elegant design, with a tall, slender stem and a flared bowl, demonstrating the craftsmanship and skill of the anonymous glassmaker.
