This 18th-century engraved wine glass, dating from 1775-1798, features a charming scene of three cherubic figures making music. The etched design is reminiscent of the Rococo style, characterized by its playful and ornate motifs. The glass itself showcases a delicate and elegant form, with a slender stem and a bowl adorned with a unique, faceted design. This piece would have been enjoyed in homes during the period as an elegant and decorative object, symbolizing both artistry and the pleasures of fine dining.
Comments
Engraver David Wolff specialized in representations of themes such as friendship, freedom or – in this case – harmony. His glasses feature scenes of boys dancing, playing or making music. Because Wolff used little contrast in his work, it was sometimes difficult to read his highly sophisticated scenes. However, they became clear as soon as the glass was filled with red wine.
