Can u help find a Greek wedding cup: sterling silver girl w/ cups that swing so bride&groom can drink?

Question

someone said they received one a few months ago, and was asking for the story of this wedding cup...sorry, I don't know the story but these are tradition in my family wedding and anniversary celebrations

Answer 1

I know the story, or at least "a" story. I found one in Germany where it was called a "brautbecher" or "bride's cup".

The story is that a fellow wanted to marry a girl, but the father was against it, and said that when the fellow could make a cup that could contain two different drinks at the same time, where two people could drink one without spilling any, he would allow the marriage.

Here's a link to one I found.

Answer 2

I know what you're talking about, I've seen it sold at renaissance faires - but haven't come across it anywhere else.
