Moderne Kunst again.

I translated the caption Moselblümchen as At the Wine Festival to try and capture the spirit of it: seems it can be the wine or the outfit or the flowers maybe round her head. Or all three.

Josef Lieck was known for capturing “feminine beauty” which here seems to be the suggestion of what might follow the drink…

A quotation from Omar Khayyam

We dabble in the Qur’án now and then,
Read, and repent, yet fall from Grace again;
But in the goblet is engraved a text
That greets eternally the eyes of men.
 
قرآن که بهین کلام خوانند اورا
گه گاه نه بر دوام خوانند اورا
در خطِ پیاله آیتی روشن هست
کاندر همه جا مدام خوانند اورا

Omar Khayyám (1048-1123) Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer [عمر خیام]
Rubáiyát [رباعیات], Bod. # 6 [tr. Talbot (1908)]

The nice thing about making a chalice is that it can be wonky and, by the time you put decorations on it, no one notices. And no one cares if its heavy because then they feel free to bang it on the table and call for more mead.
