The engraving celebrates the birth of the Dutch Prince William V of Orange, represented by the shoot coming from the base of the orange tree. William was born in 1748, the year that Van Borckeloo engraved and dated the glass. \n\nSpecial drinking glasses with commemorative inscriptions were particularly popular in Holland in the 18th century. Both amateur and professional diamond-point engravers worked on local as well as imported glasses. They mostly made these glasses as one-off pieces for special occasions and often dated them and marked them with their signature. \n\nThis glass is only one of three known signed glasses by the Utrecht engraver Thomas van Borckeloo. In this case Van Borckeloo used an English glass which was made about 30 years before he engraved it.","physicalDescription":"Small lead-glass goblet with mushroom-shaped baluster stem.
