Description
Entertaining was an important way to assert status in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries—a time of increasing prosperity for the middle class. This goblet is decorated with a coat of arms, reminding the guest of the standing of his or her host. It also attests to the importance of sharing a drink for strengthening social ties
The goblet is wheel engraved: a process in which a small abrasive wheel creates an incised design.
