A Glass of Honey shows the hostess offering a guest the welcome cup, carved in moss agate, jasper, ice quartz, flint, jade, petrified wood, Gazgan marble and carnelian. The work is based on the painting of the same name by Konstantin Makovsky, the Russian painter of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The piece takes up the old Russian custom of offering a guest a welcome glass, followed by a kiss; it was the wife of the head of the house who offered it.
