Condition
The cup is in very good condition overall. Some very minor traces of oxydation to the mount of the lid. A restored chip below the rim is visible (1,5 x 0,3 cm). The foot appears to have been slightly restored around the fixation and the two rings. The grip probably associated. It is a very rare and attractive piece.

Catalogue Note
Une coupe similaire, en jaspe rouge à tâches grises et jaunes réalisée par Hans Kobenhaupt (act. 1609-1623) à Stuttgart vers 1620 et provenant de la collection de Jean-Frédéric, duc de Wurttemberg a a été acquise par Louis XIV en 1681 (musée du Louvre, inv. n°E188). La monture, très similaire à fleurons de vermeil fut remplacée à Paris au XVIIIème siècle. La coupe est également à rapprocher d'un autre exemple du même artiste conservée au Kunsthistorisches Museum de Vienne (inv nr KK 1619) illustrée ici.
