Footnotes
Provenance: The Overduin Collection
With Kunstzalen A. Vecht, sold 5 December 2007
Beakers such as this were too large for wine, and would probably have been used instead for strong beer. Beakers of similar form and with similar decoration are illustrated by Rainer Rückert, Die Glassammlung des Bayerischen Nationalmuseums München (1982), cats. 299-304, by Elisabeth Trux (ed.), Form- und Scherzgläser, Geschliffene und Geschnittene Gläser des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts (1992), pp. 72-73, cat. 1, and by Margrit Bauer and Gunhild Gabbert, Europäisches und Aussereuropäisches Glas (1980), p. 113, cat. 247, where their production is generally attributed to the Spessart region of southern Germany. A beaker of very similar form, but with moulded vertical ribs instead of nodules, was sold by Sotheby's London, 7 December 1981, lot 319.
