Coppa a due manici

1700–1710
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 750
La coppa a due manici cesellata in sei lobi uguali è una forma tipica dei primi argentieri di New York. Le coppe da vino e brandy, o Brandewijnskom, erano usate durante cerimonie come matrimoni, funerali e soprattutto nei kindermaal, quando le donne del vicinato si riunivano per dare il benvenuto a un nuovo nato. Dopo averla riempita con uvetta e brandy, la coppa si faceva passare tra gli ospiti che si servivano con un cucchiaio d’argento. Le iniziali incise vicino all’orlo della coppa sono quelle di Theunis Jacobsen Quick, un ricco fornaio, e della moglie Vroujte, che si sposarono nel 1689.
