Provenance
Christie's sale, 15 May 2007, lot 92
An identical glass with the same inscription and engraving signed and dated 'Jacob Sang, fec. Amsterdam, 1761' in diamond-point to the foot is illustrated by C R S Sheppard and J P Smith, Glass from the Restoration to the Regency (1990), pp.60-1, no.85. They note two other glasses with the same subject, both of which are unsigned, of which it is likely that the glass in the present lot is one. Another unsigned example was sold by Sotheby's on 21 March 2000, lot 334, which may be the second. A further signed and dated example in the form of an airtwist goblet inscribed 'Jacob Sang, inv: et Fec: Amsterdam 1759' to the foot was sold by Christie's on 19 December 2007, lot 167.
