Bokaal van Zwischengoldglas, met Jozef die door zijn broeders in de put wordt geworpen c. 1730 - 1750

This is a drinking glass from the 18th century, decorated with a scene from the Bible. The glass is decorated with a gold foil technique called 'Zwischengoldglas' and the scene depicts the biblical story of Joseph being thrown into the well by his brothers (Genesis 37:24). The glass is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and is a fine example of decorative arts from the Dutch Golden Age.
