Document source description
The rounded body of this "bratina" or drinking cup is decorated with incised designs of interlaces, fantastic masks, and fruit, inspired by Dutch or Flemish prints. The cup's shape, with an inscription on a broad band at the rim in Russian celebrating drinking rituals, was a specialty of silversmiths associated with the Moscow court of the Tsar. While such cups were also made in Holland and Germany for the Russian market, there does not appear to be any evidence that that is this case here. Dutch and Flemish engravings intended as models for craftsmen were known to circulate in Russia. The inscription translates "Bratina of the Archpriest Demetrius Athinogenov. May one drink from it in good health."
