About the Item
Dutch Armorial Engraved Light Baluster Goblet - County of Holland, c1755
The coat of arms - as with many other such examples - reflects the twists and turns of history; the two lions - each wearing a ducal crown - on the 'internal' shield are the symbols of the Duchies of Guelders and Jülich - the constituent parts of the province - united under a common leader, Duke William, in 1393. Centuries of strife were to follow - including the annexation of land including the capital of the region, Geldern, by Prussia in 1713; it was never recovered by the Dutch, and remains part of Germany to this day. The supporting lions are those of the Dutch Republic, of which Gelderland became a founding member in 1579.
Lead glass was being produced in Holland and Wallonia by the mid 18th century and in Norway within another decade. Quite why the enterprising merchants of the Provinces of The Netherlands would not prefer more locally sourced glassware for their artisans to engrave than that imported from England fails the common sense test.
It is also worth noting that Dutch engraved light balusters have a propensity to be made from brighter glass than the equivalents being produced in England during the same period.
