The cup in the form of a six-petal flower carried by a cupid standing on a high base was made in the 1660s by an unknown Nuremberg master. In the cup's center is a bell-like cover with an orifice. Under it is a float with a figure of a baby fastened to it. Such fun cups were called Hanschen im Keller and were given, most probably, on the occasion of baptism and were therefore also called baptismal cups. When wine was poured into such a cup, the float rose and the baby figure appeared in the opening flower.
