The Story of the Nuernber Bridal Beaker:
The story goes that a long time ago a goldsmith in the famous city of Nuernberg wanted to wed Kunigunde, a young lady of noble birth.
Her father, however, did not like the idea and resorted to a ruse to prevent his daughter from marrying the penniless artisan. He would only allow the wedding to take place on condition that the goldsmith succeeded in making a vessel from which two persons could drink together without spilling a drop of contents.
The goldsmith succeeded, and the news of the happy ending spread quickly over Bavaria, Germany, where the bridal cup has been in use ever since.
Approx. 6.7" tall
Includes the bridal cup legend in English, German, French and Russian.
Tip: Sparkling wine or wine is best for this style of cup.
