EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of artistry from the 17th century - a Parcel-gilt trick drinking cup created by Hans I Clauss. Crafted between 1627 and 1629, this magnificent cup is made of gold and vermeil, standing at an impressive height of 56.5 cm. The intricate details on this goblet are truly mesmerizing. Adorned with delicate floral motifs, ornate baroque designs, and gilded silver gilt accents, it exudes opulence and grandeur. The polylobed shape adds to its uniqueness while the lid features a decorative finial that enhances its overall elegance. Not just a mere vessel for drinking, this cup also serves as an interactive Trinkspiel or drinking game. With multiple spouts strategically placed around its body, it challenges the drinker's skill in finding the right one to sip from. Particularly noteworthy is the elaborate parcel gilt technique used in its creation. This method involves applying gold leaf only to specific areas of the object, creating contrasting patterns that enhance its visual appeal. Currently held in a private collection, this extraordinary work of art captures both historical significance and artistic brilliance. Its presence evokes admiration for the craftsmanship of yesteryears while showcasing timeless beauty through its exquisite decoration.
