Deckelbecher, Gefäß, Behältnis

1. Hälfte 17. Jahrhundert

The jug and the two cups with lids are made of serpentine. Serpentine (lat. serpens = snake) obtained its name from the snake-like pattern and the green colour. It was often used for dishes, because it was said to be antitoxic and to break when touched by poison.
