For noble tankards and goblets applies: exceptionally valuable objects achieve exceptionally high prices and remain a stable investment. Goblets were mostly used in the context of ceremonial drinking rituals. This use of the goblet as a so-called "Willkomm" is a documented custom whose designation can be traced back to the 16th century. Several of these pieces were often kept in court silver chambers. These large and representative objects not only honored the guest, but also provided information about the status of the host.
Due to their preciousness, the noble tankards and goblets that come up for sale at VAN HAM are typically not objects of everyday use, but were rather presented as showpieces at buffets. Such treasures are mostly extraordinary single finds, whose special provenance and historical significance lead to unexpected top prices.
