This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Stirrup Glass (Sturzglas) from Bohemia, dating back to approximately 1720. Crafted by an unknown creator, this 18th-century antique is a remarkable example of European applied arts. The Art Institute of Chicago proudly displays this artifact in their renowned art centre. The image captures the vibrant colors and intricate design that adorn this Bohemian glassware. Its decorative elements reflect the rich culture and craftsmanship of the time, making it a true testament to European heritage art. This particular piece was likely produced in a glassworks factory located in Germany's Riesengebirge region. The Stirrup Glass itself is an intriguing concept, with its unique shape resembling a stirrup cup used for drinking during social gatherings or hunting events. Its functional yet elegant design makes it not only a tableware essential but also an artistic masterpiece.

Whether displayed in an exhibition or cherished within private collections, this Stirrup Glass continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and historical significance.
