Nicolaes Lockeman (1667)

Like its predecessor, the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-1667) was essentially a dispute about trade fought on water. The end of the war was hastened in June 1667 when the Dutch launched a spectacular raid on the English naval base at Chatham on the river Medway, east of London. It came as a complete surprise to the British. The Dutch smashed the chain that defended the river from enemy attack. As a result, they were able to capture two English ships and burn a further six. One of the prizes was the flagship, 'Royal Charles', brought back to Holland as a trophy of war. Admiral Michiel de Ruyter received this gold cup picturing the encounter in enamel to mark the successful raid.   rijksmuseum.nl

Anoniem (1500)

This shallow dish - a tazza - was designed as a drinking vessel. The object is a combination of various parts: a hollow, trumpet-shaped foot, a solid stem and a shallow bowl with a broad, flat rim. The glassblower varied the thickness of the stem. This gave the opportunity for additional decorative elements on the glass, such as the glass edges and the ribbed knop. Parts of the drinking vessel are superbly decorated with painted ornamentation in different colours.   rijksmuseum.nl
