Bokaal, met het wapen van de Republiek der Zeven Verenigde Provinciën c. 1680 - 1700

This engraved glass goblet, dating from around 1680-1700, showcases the artistry of an anonymous Dutch glassmaker. It is a fine example of the decorative arts of the Dutch Golden Age, with a complex design featuring the coat of arms of the Dutch Republic, the "Seven United Provinces," etched onto its surface. The goblet's unique design, featuring a tall, conical bowl with a flared rim, a stem consisting of three decorative knobs, and a circular foot, exemplifies the craftsmanship of the period. This elegant and functional piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the skill and ingenuity of Dutch glassmakers.
