This etched glass wine glass, dating from after 1690, features a complex design of a crowned coat of arms and other heraldic symbols. Created by an anonymous artist, the glass is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of its time. It stands as a unique example of decorative glassware from the late 17th century, showcasing the intricate details of glass etching and the enduring beauty of heraldic imagery. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this glass provides a glimpse into the drinking habits and decorative styles of the Dutch Golden Age.
Comments
The crowned arms of William III of Orange are enclosed by a garter bearing the text: ‘Honi so[it qu]i [mal y] pense’ (Shame on him who thinks evil of it). The Order of the Garter is the highest order of chivalry in England. The poorly spelt English inscription on the glass reads: ‘God bles the Kingh.’
