16. Lauenstein erotic baluster goblet (c. 1750).

The bowl is engraved with a woodland scene and features a male hunter and female figure holding his gun. The old German inscription loosely translates to, ‘We Love the Fingers under the Oaks and Firs Cocking the Hunters Gun.’Again we have another glass which is looking to the heavy balusters for influence; this large heavy goblet though is not lead glass and a very typical example from the Lauenstein glasshouse.The pointed round funnel bowl sits over a teared knop over a teared inverted baluster knop with a high domed and folded foot.
