NOTES
The simple shape of this wine glass, a blown bowl and stem resting on a flared foot, was a popular form often included in 17th-century still-life paintings. The wide stem is typically decorated with bits of glass applied to the surface; sometimes these bits were stamped into shapes resembling raspberries.
