Danish Silver Margrethebæger Silver Margrethe Cup H: 8.5 cm x 9.5 cm Sterling Denmark A. Michelsen ca 175 gramIt is called "Margrethe" cup. The Legend says that Queen Margrethe the 1st (14th century) had made this in a form so the official cup-bearer cup taste from another point than her Royal Highness.
