Provenance:
Sold at Fischer, Heilbronn, 17 October 1998, lot 398
The overall decoration with the coats of arms of Bohemia and Silesia commemorates the Emperor Charles VI's Pragmatic Sanction of 1713, securing the succession to the Austrian throne by a female Habsburg (his eldest daughter, Maria Theresia), in the absence of a male heir.
A very similar goblet is in the Bavarian National Museum, Munich, illustrated by Rainer Rückert, Die Glassammlung des Bayerischen Nationalmuseums München, Vol. II (1982), p. 224, cat. 634. Compare also to the goblet offered as the previous lot in this sale.
