Description from the seller

Commemorative cup for the coronation celebration on the occasion of the enthronement on 6 September 1898 of the then 18-year-old Princess Wilhelmina as Queen of the Netherlands.

The bottom of the cup has a lithophane, a three-dimensional image in translucent porcelain that becomes visible when lit from the bottom. This image shows two women with a letter.

On the cup are the portraits of Queen Wilhelmina and her mother Queen Emma, who had been regent up to that point.
The years 1880 and 1898 are visible in a pennant and a flag.
The motto 'Je Maintiendrai' ('I shall maintain', the motto of the House of Orange-Nassau and of the Netherlands) is inscribed in the ribbons above the portraits.
