Drinking habits of the Baroque
The 16th and 17th centuries were often referred to as the "main drinking period of the German people" or the "booze age". It was not uncommon for large quantities - sometimes several liters per person - to be "downed" at social occasions. The silver collection from private ownership, on public display for the first time, contains a great variety of silver-gilt vessels - from simple cups to tricky drinking games. They provide delightful insights into the drinking customs of the Baroque era.
