Standing cup with cover 1695 - 1700

This standing cup with cover, crafted by Matthäus Baur II in the late 17th century, is an exquisite example of German glassblowing and metalwork. The cup's deep red glass body is intricately fluted, while the lid and base are constructed of silver with gilded accents, reminiscent of the elaborate styles of the Baroque period. The delicate stem and leaves of the base, which are rendered in metal, add a touch of organic beauty to the piece. This unique cup is an exceptional example of skilled craftsmanship and exemplifies the artistry of the late 17th century.
