Centerpiece in the Form of a Galley in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2020
Centerpiece in the Form of a Galley
late 16th century
Object Details
Title: Centerpiece in the Form of a Galley
Artist: Joseph Mayer
Date: late 16th century
Culture: German, Ulm
Medium: Silver (partially gilded)
Dimensions: 16 1/8 × 6 3/16 × 12 5/8 in., 2.9 lb. (41 × 15.7 × 32 cm, 1.3 kg)
Classification: Metalwork-Silver
Credit Line: Kunstkammer, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna
As early as the fourteenth century, small silver ships marked the sovereign’s place at the table during banquets, enclosing the cutlery and napkin to protect them from poisoning. Over the course of the sixteenth century, multifunctional trick vessels such as this one became popular. If a diner tried to drink from the blocked bow spout, the three deck cannons sprayed liquid onto his or her face—to the delight of the assembled company. The only way to successfully drink from the vessel is through a cannon on the stern.
