Copa con tapa

1788
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 723
Procedente de Alemania, John Frederick Amelung emigró al condado de Frederick, en Maryland, donde estableció una próspera fábrica de vidrio en New Bremen. La forma y la decoración grabada de este pokal, o copa con tapadera, delatan el origen alemán de los artesanos que trabajaban en la fábrica. Su ornamento predominante, un escudo barroco que contiene el elaborado blasón de la ciudad de Bremen, Alemania, es característico de la decoración del cristal grabado de Amelung, y en general del cristal americano del periodo. La copa fue encontrada en Alemania, lo que explica la inscripción: «Old Bremen Success and the New Progress» (Éxito de la antigua Bremen y el nuevo progreso). Sin duda, Amelung se la regaló a sus inversores alemanes, a modo de brindis triunfal por el éxito de su empresa americana.
