Getting started with the collection:
Goblet
Meissener Porzellan Manufaktur, c. 1727
Surmounting the goblet is the goddess Athena with
Arachne, whom she taught to spin and weave. After
Arachne won a weaving contest, the jealous Athena
transformed her into a spider. The goblet is decorated
with Chinese motifs. It was likely created for the court
of Augustus II the Strong in Saxony, whose crowned
initials are seen on the sides.
