This small silver bowl, known as a "wine taster," was likely used to sample wine during the 18th century. The bowl is decorated with simple, repeated motifs, and features a single, twisted handle. This type of vessel was common in the 18th century, and is often found in museums as a reminder of the importance of wine tasting in European culture. The inscription "F. Munneret" likely refers to the original owner, though the specific history of this object remains unknown.
