An iconic object for the Amsterdam collector! This type of glass cup was primarily an aesthetic object, a sign of prosperity and luxury and was often used during formal dinners. Prominent is the coat of arms of Amsterdam in the middle. The origin of the design of the coat with three white St. Andrew's crosses is unknown. Some people believe the crosses are said to symbolize three ancient enemies: water, fire and the plague.
The other parts of the glass are decorated with floral motifs while the rounder of the glass is flanked by laurel wreaths.
The surface of this glass is engraved by holding it against a rotating wheel. This tool became popular in the 18th century. The drawing was made by pressing the glass against rapidly rotating cogs, which were set in motion with the foot. This made it possible to grind different depths and vary with a choice of wheels.
