SILVER-GILT COLUMBINE CUP

Augsburg, ca. 1650. Maker's mark Theodor Riederer.
Round foot, with knopped decoration all-around. Cuppa with knopped wall on an engraved and punched base.
H 16.5 cm, 160 g.

The lip of the rim features a punched mark of the coat of arms of the Sion family von Riedmatten (cloverleaf and stars under a bishop's hat). A number of bishops came from this family. It is conceivable that the columbine cup on offer was once in the possession of Adrian von Riedmatten IV or Adrian von Riedmatten V and was marked in this manner.
