Chalice with allegorical representation, Conical foot. Widening, faceted trunk, becoming a curved chalice. On the chalice an allegory on the alliance between the Batavian and the French Republic, which was closed on 16 May 1795. In a landscape with trees stand a Batavier and a Frenchman, who hold each other's arms and hold a snake together, who own tail bites. In the circle that forms the snake, two hearts hang on a key. The Batavier kicks on a yoke and buoys, the Frenchman on a crown and a scepter. Between them in fasces and a lance with a freedom hat. On the left the Batavian lion, on the right the Gallic rooster that chased away the English dog, Batavian Republic, anonymous, c. 1795, glass, glassblowing, h 17.4 cm × d 8.6 cm d 8.6 cm
