This drinking vessel, a popular accessory at wedding festivals, is made with a series of hand-carved and turned parts - a large cylindrical cup and feet finished with acanthus leaves, a domed lid featuring a relief of the Royal Norwegian rampant lion as it appears on the country’s coat of arms and a pegged handle with a four-leaf hinge and recumbent lion thumb piece.
