Beaker 1683 Unidentified Master GH The combination of matte snakeskin decoration with a gilded band of fully blossoming flowers is extremely rare. Only one other similar beaker is known, now in the Hungarian National Museum, Budapest, and that bears the mark of a different goldsmith. The engraved date 1683 is consistent with the objects style. The mysterious mark GH probably refers to an unidentified master. Discovering the meaning of this mark will help to establish a more specific place of origin for the piece.LiteratureEuropean Silver.
