"A Nautilus Cup, an Oriental Bowl on a Silver Tray and Glasses of Wine on a Table" is a highly regarded artwork by Dutch Golden Age painter Willem Kalf (1619–1693). It is a defining example of Kalf's still-life genre, renowned for showcasing ornate luxury items, fruits, and beverages reflective of the wealthy Dutch society of the 17th-century.

Dated in the mature period of Kalf's career, the painting displays a meticulous attention to light and texture, a standard feature of his stylistic oeuvre. The nautilus cup, an ostentatious item common in Dutch still-lifes, takes the central position on the table alongside a Chinese porcelain bowl, symbolizing the Dutch engagement in global trade. The silver tray with a Persian carpet underneath signifies the wealth and status of the Dutch middle class during the nation's economic prosperity, commonly referred to as the Dutch Golden Age. The glasses of wine are a minute yet vibrant testament to Kalf's ability to demonstrate the play of light on different materials, rendering a realistic representation of the time's material culture.

Though the exact date and location of the painting's creation remain unknown, the meticulous attention to detail, from the rendering of the shiny silverware to the sinewy textures of the oriental carpet, reflects much of Kalf's later works. Further context from Kalf's biography reinforces this painting as a characteristic sample of his established style, with the intricate details and overall composition bearing resemblances to his larger body of works.

Today, the artwork represents the aesthetic tastes and economic wealth of the 17th-century Dutch bourgeoisie, as viewed through Kalf's proficient and discerning artistic lens. This piece, like many of Kalf's still-life works, remains a valued testament to the artist's position as a pioneering figure within the Dutch Golden Age of still-life painting.
