18th Century Hurrengrund Cup #3182
This Herrengrund cup dates from the 18th century. This cup is made of copper that was extracted by a process known as cementation, in which water containing copper forms a deposit on iron. Production was limited to three areas in the county of Sohl in what is now Hungary.The outside of the body is completely stipled, except for the rim which is engraved with an old German proverb that mentions a young woman and mother. I am sorry my "Alt Deutsch" is not very good! The rim and the inside of the tumbler is gilded. The rim retains most all of its original gilding, while the inside has maybe 50%. With some minor bumps and wear, it is in otherwise very nice condition. It stands at 2" tall, and 3" in diameter.
This one is priced at $795

16th Century Copper Gilt Beaker #4148
Here is a very unusual and rare Waldglas form gilt copper beaker. Wrought with prunts, just as if it were made of glass! It even has a high "kick" in the bottom, just as a blown glass beaker would have. It was originally fire gilt throughout, and has a wonderful engraved hunt scene running around the upper third of the body. It is German, and probably dates from the middle of the 16th century. It is in very nice condition, other than the gilding is about half worn off. It stands 2 3/4" tall, and is 3 3/8" wide at the rim.
The price of this beaker is $4950
