專家說明

Another glass tankard also mounted in silver-gilt, but with the slightly earlier date of 1592, is in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (W. Buckley, The Art of Glass, London, 1939, pl. 67, no. 248, C.313-36). The form of the tankard is similar to two illustrated by B. Klesse and A. von Saldern, (500 Jahre Glaskunst - Die Sammlung Biemann), Zurich, 1978, p. 317, no. 270 and p. 328, no. 388.
