This 18th-century, anonymous, Dutch "slingerglas" (a type of drinking glass) is intricately decorated with an etched scene featuring two Chinese figures and a parrot. The glass is characterized by its unique twisted stem and a bowl etched with the scene. The "slingerglas" was a popular design in the Netherlands during the 17th and 18th centuries, known for its elegant shape and elaborate ornamentation. This particular example showcases the artistic mastery of anonymous glassmakers of the period, who used etching to create detailed and captivating imagery.
