Becher, Herzbecher, Gefäß

2. Hälfte 17. Jahrhundert

The silver cup was made by an unknown artist. The chisled hearts could indicate that the cup was used  for medical drinks. The heart was seen as the centre of physical life, so even its picture  was regarded to be healing. On the bottom surface two unknown punches ("F" and "M").
