Wine glass with a depiction of the alliance between the Batavian Republic and the French Republic  c. 1795

This is a wine glass from around 1795, created by an unknown artist. The glass is decorated with an etched image of the Batavian Republic and the French Republic, symbolizing their alliance. This piece of glassware is a unique example of how the revolutionary events of the late 18th century impacted everyday objects. The etching is a testament to the political climate of the time, and the glass itself serves as a reminder of the shared history of the Netherlands and France.
