Goblet

c. 1680
Engraving attributed to Heinrich Schwanhardt (German, died 1693)
It is uncertain whether the toast written on this glass is dedicated to Ernest the Pious of Saxe-Gotha (1601–1675) or his son, Ernest of Saxe-Hildburghausen (1655–1715). Originally, the goblet probably had a high, knopped cover.
