专家说明

The scrolling fleur-de-lys motif also appears on another beaker by Georgius Harnischmacher, illustrated in J. Kolba, Hungarian Silver, The Nicolas M. Salgo Collection, London, 1996, p. 67, no. 45.

Segesvár is located in Transylvania and like Brassó was populated in the 12th century by German craftsmen and merchants known as the Transylvanian Saxons who had been invited to settle by the King of Hungary. After the First World War, Segesvár passed with Transylvania from Austria-Hungary to the Kingdom of Romania.
