Executed with matchless precision, this covered standing cup is a variation on the shape known as the Columbine cup: the tear-drop bosses on the bowl are arranged in two rows in such a way that their pointed ends seem to interlink. Hans Pezolt has united the Gothicizing type of Columbine cup with definitively Renaissance forms. The statuette of Fortuna surmounting the cover refers to the fickleness of fortune and, by implication, to the material fortune the cup intrinsically represents.
