I finally got around to researching it today and found this:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCups with coconut bowls mounted in silver or silver-gilt and raised on a stem and foot, or multiple feet, were fashionable rareties in Western Europe in the late 15th century and throughout the 16th century. They were revived for a short period nearly three centuries later. It is probable that the earliest standing-cups referred to as hanaps had turned wood (mazer-like) bowls with covers. Later ones have bowls formed of silver or of a coconut or ostrich egg with silver mounts. Cups with coconut bowls  mounted in silver or silver-gilt and raised on a stem and foot seem to have been popular in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. They were revived for a short period nearly three centuries later, and examples of the late 18th and early 19th centuries are sometimes found. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt measures a bit over 4 inches tall, the cup top has a diameter of 4 and an eighth of an inch wide. The base has a diameter of 4. 25\" wide. The base is about 1 inch of the total height.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"fifis-finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42791659405465,"sku":"48C9D8","price":800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0118\/0132\/9723\/products\/il_fullxfull.3228062492_22v4.png?v=1667950393","url":"https:\/\/shopthrilling.mom\/products\/rare-1400s-edwardian-coconut-drinking-cup-in-ornamental-gilded-silver-base-with-silver-plated-rim-hanap-standing-cup","provider":"THRILLING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
