Rare 1400s Edwardian Coconut Drinking Cup In Ornamental Gilded Silver Base with Silver Plated Rim Hanap Standing Cup
Rare 1400s Edwardian Coconut Drinking Cup In Ornamental Gilded Silver Base with Silver Plated Rim Hanap Standing Cup
My husband and I have owned this cup for years and years, ...just something that attracted us , in our many years of thrifting and collecting everything we thought interesting or amusing. I finally got around to researching it today and found this:
Cups with coconut bowls mounted in silver or silver-gilt and raised on a stem and foot, or multiple feet, were fashionable rareties in Western Europe in the late 15th century and throughout the 16th century. They were revived for a short period nearly three centuries later. It is probable that the earliest standing-cups referred to as hanaps had turned wood (mazer-like) bowls with covers. Later ones have bowls formed of silver or of a coconut or ostrich egg with silver mounts. Cups with coconut bowls mounted in silver or silver-gilt and raised on a stem and foot seem to have been popular in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. They were revived for a short period nearly three centuries later, and examples of the late 18th and early 19th centuries are sometimes found.
It measures a bit over 4 inches tall, the cup top has a diameter of 4 and an eighth of an inch wide. The base has a diameter of 4. 25" wide. The base is about 1 inch of the total height.
