A rare and exceptionally large Roemer glass from the 17th century, standing at an impressive height of 18.2 cm, far exceeding the typical size of approximately 13 cm. This beautiful piece showcases the characteristic olive-green color and elegant shape seen in still-life paintings by Dutch masters like Willem Claesz Heda and Pieter Claesz, and more modern artists like Henk Helmantel. These glasses were considered symbols of wealth and were often depicted with other luxurious items like oysters, lemons, and silverware.
The glass is in good condition considering its age, though the bowl contains a few professionally consolidated cracks, allowing the glass to retain its clear, bell-like sound when tapped. Additionally, the foot rim exhibits three small chips, further testifying to its history and age. Despite these imperfections, this Roemer remains a striking example of its kind, combining both historical significance and artistic craftsmanship.
