This 17th century glass beaker, with the inscription "Ootmoed Stut toorn," meaning "Humility Supports Wrath," stands on three small feet. The delicate, hand-blown glass is decorated with intricate etched designs of intertwined lines. Its inscription suggests a moralizing theme, reflecting the Dutch Golden Age's interest in virtue and self-control. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides insight into the craftsmanship and cultural values of this era.
