This footed beaker, crafted by Petrus Schnell II between 1645 and 1655, is a prime example of 17th century silver craftsmanship. The beaker's elegant form is enhanced by intricate gold ornamentation, including scrolling foliage and medallions, reflecting the popular Baroque style of the era. The piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Schnell's mastery in combining functional design with artistic detail, creating a vessel as beautiful as it is practical.
