Description
Goblet with allegory probably France 2nd H. 19th century Colourless glass. Disc base, shaft with disc nodus, slightly conically widened cuppa with partly gilded matt and blank cut: Frontally above the majuscule ''H'' a rooster on a pedestal around which a snake winds, underneath inscription ''DEFICIAM AUT EFFICIAM''. On the reverse, two eagle heads facing each other, surrounded by squiggles in a double repeat. H. 14.5 cm DEFICIAM AUT EFFICIAM - a Latin phrase that translates to ''I will find a way or create one''. This powerful motto embodies determination, ingenuity and resilience. It speaks to the human mind's ability to overcome challenges, adapt, and create solutions even in the face of adversity. The rooster allegorically stands for wisdom over the serpent, symbolically as a victory over adversity.
