Kelkglas met het wapen van Tholen c. 1725 - 1750

This 18th-century drinking glass, made between 1725 and 1750, is a striking example of Dutch glassmaking. The delicate stem with a series of round bulbous forms is characteristic of the period. The etched coat of arms of the city of Tholen is a testament to the glass's Dutch origin and its possible use in a municipal context or as a commemorative piece. The piece is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and is a beautiful example of a decorative, functional object from the Netherlands' rich glass-making tradition.
