About this work

Dripping stand ring. Deeply sunk base. The high stem, which is covered with five rows of blackberry knobs, is blown as one piece with the curved cup. A ribbed wire indicates the transition from the stem to the cup. On the cup three large and sixteen smaller coats of arms are engraved. The three large ones are those of Spain with imperial crown and chain of the Golden Fleece, Orange-Nassau with a princely crown, and Holland with a count's crown. The last coat of arms is placed in the 'Hollandse Tuin'. Below the smaller coats of arms the following inscriptions stand: 'Zelandt, Flaendria, Aertoirs, Vittrecht, Antwerpen, Brabantia, Limburch, Lutzenburg, Mechlen, Namen, Geldria, Zutuen, Hengou, Ouerijsel, Frisia en Groninga'. Below the coat of arms of Orange-Nassau are the letters J.M and the year 1650.
