Sebald Beham’s hometown of Nuremberg, Germany, was a thriving cultural center, employing nearly 130 goldsmiths in 1514. Covered cups were a Nuremberg specialty. Despite the Lilliputian scale, goldsmiths would have consulted this design avidly for ideas. The helpful Beham added a horizontal line and “AUF” (on) to show where the lid sits.
