拍品資料及來源
帆船造型酒杯由來已久，「nef」在法語意為船。最早的紀錄應該是十三世紀一件奉獻給聖尼科拉斯聖壇（聖尼科拉德波爾，洛林）的帆船酒杯，奉獻者是路易九世（綽號聖路易）及其妻普羅旺斯的瑪格麗特（Margaret of Provence），以感恩能夠安然渡海。「nef」及「nave」二詞出自同一個意為船的拉丁語，反映了在西方早期，帆船酒杯在世俗和宗教生活中的地位。作為一件世俗用品，酒杯是餐桌上最重要的物件，置於貴族王公手邊以盛載其餐巾及餐具。帆船酒杯在西方上一直地位超然；如法王路易十四亦擁有一件黃金及琺瑯帆船酒杯，直至十七世紀末依然有人對這件曾屬於「太陽王」的帆船酒杯躬身致敬。另一方面，帆船酒杯亦會被用作酒杯或酒瓶，也是王侯貴族在餐桌上展現尊貴身份和地位的重要象徵物。
