GEBR FRIEDLANDER BERLIN Emil harnish

This item is an antique German Pokal, which is a large, ornate ceremonial covered goblet. Historically, these vessels were prominent in German-speaking regions during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, often crafted from silver or gilt silver to showcase the skill of master goldsmiths in cities like Nuremberg and Augsburg.

While this specific object appears to be a historical antique rather than a modern commercial product, its origins are rooted in the traditional metalworking guilds of Germany. These types of goblets were frequently used as presentation pieces for royalty, guild celebrations, or as prestigious decorative items for wealthy merchant families. Today, such items are typically found in museum collections or private antique markets, preserving the artistic legacy of central European silverwork.
