Lidded goblet. A wheel-engraving was created by holding a glass against a rotating (copper) disc. A glue-like substance on the disc created extra friction and also cooled the glass. Dutch wheel-engravings were strongly influenced by German examples. So it is difficult to say with certainty whether the portraits of Anne of Hanover and her two children on this goblet were made in the Netherlands or commissioned by a Dutch patron in Germany. Translation of inscription: monograms APVO (Anne, Princess of Orange), WPVO (William, Prince of Orange) and CPO (Caroline, Princess of Orange).
