The bowl of this goblet is engraved with a wooded clearing, a house in a forest with a dog nearby, and a stag in the background, all surrounded by floral decoration and the inscription "Health to His Honor Anton Ivanovich Petrov." The inscription encourages guests to toast the health of their merchant host. Several of the earliest private glassworks, such as Maltsov, were founded in western Russia not far from the influences of Bohemian glassblowers.
