Légende

Two silver cups, 17th century?, (1881). Etching of two silver-gilt drinking cups or beakers. The one on the left was made c1600 in Wesel in the German Rhineland. The inspiration for the shape is a 16th-century glass drinking vessel called a 'romer'. The raised knobs (called 'prunts') on the lower half mimic the decoration which forms naturally in the handling molten glass. From "The South Kensington Museum", a book of engraved illustrations, with descriptions, of the works of art in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (formerly known as the South Kensington Museum). [Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington, London, 1881]
