Covered Beaker ca. 1470 Hans Greiff German This lavish silver beaker from the medieval town hall of Ingolstadt, in Bavaria, bear clear witness to the prosperity of the city and its residents, above all the fraternal members of the town council.

Tiny bunches of grapes, fashioned from green and red glass beads, peek out from the vine tendrils at the base, quietly proclaiming this to be a vessel for wine. Hirsute wildmen supporting the base hint at a party atmosphere. The engraved hunting scene on the exterior, complete with unicorn, is not original.. Covered Beaker. Hans Greiff (German, active ca. 1470-died 1516 Ingolstadt). German. ca. 1470. Silver, gilded silver, enamel, and glass. Made in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. Metalwork-Silver
