Wineglass 1762

This 18th-century wineglass, created by Dutch artist William Fortuyn, is a fine example of engraved glass. The piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a detailed design of two coats of arms, likely those of a family or a noble house. The intricate engraving, with its delicate lines and precise details, reflects the skill of the artist and the craftsmanship of the period. Such engraved glassware was a popular and valued form of decorative art in the 18th century.
