拍品专文

This goblet has a humorous connotation as only four hares are depicted and a fifth is invoked; the user of the goblet would therefore be the 'fifth hare'. Perhaps the goblet once formed part of a set used by five friends. Hares can also have an erotic significance see Liefkes, 1988, p. 239 and Ritsema van Eck, 1995, p. 311 no. 337.
