The gilt silver cup in the shape of a reared bull was made by the famous Nuremberg master Jeremias Ritter in the first quarter of the 17th century. J. Ritter who came from a renowned family of Nuremberg silversmiths known from the middle of the 16th century was one of the leading masters of the first half of the 17th century. He was given important commissions, among others, by the City Council, for which he made tall standing cups. This figure cup shows that Ritter was an excellent sculptor and modeller and a master of casting and chasing.
