- About the artworkA German glass with wheel-engraving, possibly done in Batavia, last quarter 18th century
During the 18th century diamond- or wheel-engraving on glass became very popular in Holland and reached supreme heights in quality. Since the engravings on this glass are not of the best quality, it could have been done in Batavia. The decorations are mainly commemorative; births, weddings, friendship, freedom, prosperous trade and political events. Or, as in this case, the safe arrival after a hazardous sea trip. Since there was hardly any glass industry in Holland in the 18th century the glass itself was usually imported from England or Germany. - About the artist
