About this work
In this gold cup Paulus van Vianen again presents three different ways to employ kwab ornament. Compared to the tazza shown nearby, his use of auricular ornament has become bolder. The little knob on the lid is entirely made up of kwab forms. These motifs do not serve to embellish an existing form, but constitute the form (the knob) itself. This was entirely new.
