Bacchus is a variously portrayed Greek god. Sometimes he appears as a child being carried high by his peers; at other times, he is shown playing with a Satyr, or holding a basket filled with a variety of fruit. The innocent posture and mien of the children and animals are wheel-engraved on thick glass, reminiscent of the lively world of myth. Friedrich Winter was a glass craftsman in Silesia. In 1860, he became the first person to establish a water driven engraving wheel. By modifying the rock crystal technique, he distinguished himself as an expert in the Baroque-style technique of grinding and polishing concave designs.
