Goblet 18th century

This 18th-century "Goblet" by Franz Gundelach is a stunning example of engraved glass. The goblet's intricate design, featuring a complex, multi-layered pattern, is achieved through the skilled use of intaglio engraving, a technique that creates the design by cutting into the surface of the glass. The goblet's elegant shape and intricate decoration exemplify the artistry of the period. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
