Goblet 1720 - 1730

Frans Greenwood's "Goblet" is a clear glass goblet, circa 1720-1730, with an etched scene of a woman seated in a landscape. The etching appears to be a frosted, or opaque, design, and is likely inspired by engravings or prints popular at the time. The goblet has a delicate stem and a wide, flared base, characteristic of drinking vessels from the early 18th century. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
