Wine glass

anonymous, in or after 1690 - c. 1700

The crowned arms of William III of Orange are enclosed by a garter bearing the text: ‘Honi so[it qu]i [mal y] pense’ (Shame on him who thinks evil of it). The Order of the Garter is the highest order of chivalry in England. The poorly spelt English inscription on the glass reads: ‘God bles the Kingh.’
