A hump-cup ( Kopoder , Knorrecht or Kop ) is a form of silver , representative drinking vessel that was very common in the 16th and 17th centuries . Like all early cups , it often has a lid; its humps, driven outwards by hammer blows, give it its name. It was made all over the German cultural area until the 18th century. Special forms are the grape cup with a multitude of evenly distributed spherical humps and the similar pineapple cup with a more rhombic shape. The Akeleipokal (also Akeleibecher), its shape is reminiscent of the Akeleiblüte , has been at the cuppa a double hump series; In the throat in between, the pointed extensions of these bulges interlock with one another. The Nuremberg Goldsmiths Ordinance prescribed this type of masterpiece to gold and silversmiths since 1531 . Many other German cities followed it into the 18th century.
