A passglas Hesse, Kaufunger Wald, circa 1700 Yellow-green glass with pontil, everted foot ring, cylindrical corpus decorated with applied, milled trails. 31 cm high Ein formal und von der Glasmasse her vergleichbares, 1704 datiertes Stangenglas wurde 2005 Provenance: South German Private Collection sowohl in niederländischen Stilleben, als auch in einem im frühen 17. Jahrhundert Passgläser have between 3 and 7 divisions marked sometimes with enamel, and sometimes, as in this example, with trailed threads. Each drinker at a gathering was expected to drink exactly to the next division or would have to continue until he did. Although this type of glass was very common for drinking beer in the late 16th and 17th century, only a few have survived. Glasses like this are often illustrated in Dutch still-life paintings of the period. The trails on 17th-century examples are usually less precisely executed that the ones on late 17th-centrury pieces. Years earlier a glass like this is shown on Rembrandts painting "portrait of the painter with Saskia" in the Pinakothek in Dresden.
