This would appear to be amongst one of the last pieces to be engraved by Willem Jacobszoon van Heemskerk (1613-1692). The monogram WVH could perhaps refer to his son Willem, at whose residence Willem Senior lived during the final years of his life. Three other pieces with mirror monograms were produced by Heemskerk, dated 1677, 1685 and one undated. For the 1685 dish, engraved with the mirror monogram of JVHAC, commemorating the marriage in December 1685 of M. Joost van Heemskerk, son of Willem and Anna Conink, see Pieter C. Ritsema van Eck, Glass in the Rijksmuseum, Vol. II, Amsterdam, 1995, p. 106, no. 87. Of the 112 items signed or attributed to van Heemskerk which Smit lists, the greatest proportion are wine-glasses. Only one other green-tinted serving-bottle of this type is recorded and it is dated 1689, see F.G.A.M. Smit, Uniquely Dutch Seventeenth-Century Calligraphy on glass, A Preliminary Catalogue, Peterborough, 1989, p. 58, no. D1.
