Standing cup 1600 - 1650

This standing cup, created by Wolff Christoff Ritter between 1600 and 1650, is a fine example of German silversmithing. The cup is made of clear glass with an etched portrait, possibly of a prominent figure of the time, set within an elaborate silver stand. The stand features a kneeling figure, possibly Atlas, supporting the cup on his shoulders, and a base with a richly detailed and intricate design. The cup is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of its creator, and it is a valuable historical artifact representing the decorative arts of the 17th century.
