Wine glass 1652

This 17th-century, anonymous, engraved glass goblet, from the Rijksmuseum, is a beautiful example of Dutch craftsmanship. The etched design on the goblet depicts a scene of a man riding a horse, and is a testament to the technical skill of the anonymous artist. The glass itself is a stunning example of the Dutch glassmaking tradition, with its delicate shape and intricate details. The goblet's design is reminiscent of the Rococo style, which would later become popular in Europe, and it likely was intended for wine or other beverages.
