Fles met het opschrift: Qui a loisir, il fait panier before 1692

This clear glass decanter, dating from before 1692, is a fine example of Dutch craftsmanship. It is decorated with an intricate etched design of swirling lines and flourishes, creating a delicate and elegant pattern. The inscription "Qui a loisir, il fait panier" translates to "He who has leisure, makes a basket," which may hint at the leisurely pursuit of drinking and socializing. The decanter is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, a testament to the enduring artistry and skilled glassblowing techniques of the Dutch Golden Age.
