Goblet

The former possession of the Reformed church of Körtvélyes (Szatmár county) was acquired by the Museum of Applied Arts from Henrik Egger’s collection. It is an early representative of the so-called Transylvanian flower Renaissance style that became popular at the end of the 15th century. The late Gothic shape is reflected by the structure and the proportions of the elongated, pear-shaped body. Its sectioned stem, its central part and the rim of the mouth feature open-worked, applied ornaments: a lily and leaf rings made of white silver. On its bottom chiselled initials – HP.D. – can be found.
