Goblets with elaborate winged stems were very popular in the Netherlands during the seventeenth century. Many were locally produced in the Venetian style, by glassmakers working in Antwerp, Middelburg and Amsterdam. This goblet has a diamond-point engraved inscription alluding to its function as a drinking glass for wine. Such calligraphic inscriptions were particularly popular in the northern provinces of the Netherlands during the second half of the century.
