Maiden Cup in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2010
Maiden Cup
Silver, partly gilt, enameled
Hieronymus Imhof (d.1635)
German (Augsberg), ca. 1610-1615
Accession # 17.190.579
These vessels were also known as marriage cups, a reference to the custom of pouring wine into both the up-ended hollow skirt of the maiden and the loosely suspended beaker she holds. The groom was required to drain the liquid in the skirt to the last drop, while the bride drank the contents of the beaker.
