Beaker

anoniem, 1610

In the 13th and 14th centuries, Islamic glass painted in exuberant colours was popular in Europe and imported in large numbers. It inspired Europeans to make painted decorations with their own motifs, such as this hunting scene. Initially, this technique was used mainly by the glass houses in Venice, but it later spread to the glass centres in Central Europe (Germany and Bohemia).
