专家说明

Standing cups are a traditional drinking vessel in most of Eastern European countries. The construction and decorative elements used for this example sugest a Transylvanian origin. An example illustrated in J. Kolba, Hungarian Silver, the Nicolas M. Salgo Collection, London, 1996 shows a similar example p. 40, no. 18.
