Notes:
Drypoint etching is of two ornamental glasses on woven copper-plate printing paper. Glass on left has two leaves near base with twisted stem and fluted lip; glass on right has twisted stem and long, leaf-like piece extending from near base upwards to bowl, possibly connected to it. Plate is bordered by full margins.
"K" -- initialed on lower left of plate.
"Karl Köpping, Köpping'sche ziergläser, originalradierung, Pan II 3." -- annotated in letterpress on lower left edge of margin.
Thick tissue overlay attached along left edge.
Three smiling figures submerged in water appear on verso, perhaps transfered from ink from another print.
