This 17th-century glass drinking vessel, dating to 1646, is a prime example of Dutch craftsmanship. The green glass body, with its distinctive "waisted" shape, features an engraved inscription and decorative bubbles, known as "nipple" decoration. This type of glass, known as a *roemer*, was a popular drinking glass in the Netherlands during the 17th century. This particular example is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcasing the historical and artistic significance of Dutch glassmaking.

Engraved on the bowl of this glass are the words ‘Vincens tui’ (Conquer thyself). Anna Roemers Visscher derived the butterfly and fly motifs from a late 16th-century print by Nicolaes de Bruyn.
