Wine glass, anonymous, 1733
This glass belonged to a small society in Gorinchem, called Den Negenden (‘The Ninth’). Its members dined together monthly, when a toast was drunk with this glass. It is engraved with the names of the society’s members, the coats of arms of the Republic of the United Provinces, the province of Holland and the town of Gorinchem, as well as female figures representing Harmony, Reason, Counsel and Patriotism.
