Jacob Sang, also known as Simon Jacob Sang, (c. 1720-1786) was an 18th-century Dutch glass engraver. Active in Amsterdam from 1752 to 1762,[1] he engraved wine glasses, goblets and cups. His work can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City,[1] the Art Institute of Chicago,[2] the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London,[3][4][5] the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam,[6] the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag in The Hague,[7] and the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia.[8] A goblet engraved by Sang was auctioned by Christie's for more than €20,000 in 2007 and another one by Bonhams for £24,000 in 2008.[9][10]
