Taça com tampa

1788
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 723
Amelung migrou para o condado de Frederick, Maryland, onde estabeleceu uma próspera fábrica de vidro em Nova Bremen. A forma e a decoração gravada deste pokal, ou copo com tampa, traem a origem alemã dos artesãos que trabalhavam na fábrica. Seu ornamento predominante, um escudo barroco que contém o elaborado brasão barroco da cidade de Bremen, Alemanha, é característico da decoração do cristal gravado de Amelung e, em geral, do cristal americano. O copo foi encontrado na Alemanha, o que explica a inscrição: “Old Bremen Success and the New Progress.” (Sucesso de Bremen antigo e o novo progresso). Sem dúvida, Amelung o presenteou aos seus investidores alemães como um brinde pelo êxito de sua empresa americana.
