The goldsmith presented a plump apple, its top sliced horizontally to form the lid. Its foot is in the form of a curved stem ornamented with leaves and blossom. The cup integrates natural features and accomplished artistry in order to delight the sophisticated consumer. ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
