The form of the present lot is typical of beakers produced in Groningen in the mid-17th century, used for both beer consumption, as well as for communion in the Calvinist Reformed Church. The engraved decoration on the the sides reflects this dichotomy of potential use, with secular themes of hunting around the lower edge, and personifications of the seven virtues, three theological and four cardinal, in the upper cartouches. The maker of this beaker, Jacobus Wuessym, became a master in Groningen in 1642, and died circa 1675.
