EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning parcel-gilt trick drinking cup, dating back to the 17th century. Crafted by the skilled hands of Utermarke, Dirich, a renowned German artist from the Baroque era, this exquisite piece is a true testament to his mastery. The cup's intricate decoration and ornate design immediately catch the eye. Its lobed shape and ovoid body are adorned with elaborate gilt detailing that adds an air of opulence and grandeur. The combination of gold and vermeil creates a mesmerizing contrast that further enhances its beauty. What makes this drinking cup truly unique is its playful functionality as a trinkspiel or drinking game. Equipped with spouts and covered by an intricately designed lid, it challenges its users to master the art of imbibing without spilling a drop. Every aspect of this vessel has been meticulously crafted - from its polylobed faucet to its decorative cover - making it not only functional but also visually striking. It exudes elegance and sophistication, serving as both a practical object for indulging in libations and an exquisite work of art. This remarkable photograph captures every minute detail of this parcel-gilt trick drinking cup, allowing us to appreciate its ornamental beauty up close. A true treasure from history brought back to life through the lens of eChristies Images; it serves as a reminder of the timeless allure found within fine craftsmanship.
