Ornamental glass

The splayed glass stands on a foot with cogwheel faceting: a typical example of the Ranftbecher type of Kothgasser's glasses. The bottom shows faceted and stained star motifs, while the surface of the glass is painted in green, pink, brown and blue: a female figure, wearing a pleated pink gown, embracing a tree overrun with ivy, in a background of grass and bushes. There is a thick stone put beside the tree, showing two twined hands. A dog, walking away and looking backwards, is on the left of the figure. The picture is framed with silver varnish and gilt, stylised, flowery boughs. An inscription in gold cursives runs along the bottom, below the picture: L'amitié constant.

As the inscription states, the allegorical picture represents the endurance of friendship and fidelity until death.
