Saint Germain high footed round cup

The Saint Germain double eared cup was discovered in the archaeological site of Saint Germain en Laye and can be traced back to the 6th century AD. The name 'Saint Germain' comes from the Catholic saint Paris, who was born in Outan and served as the Bishop of Paris from 555 to 576, during which time he built the Abbey of Saint Germain de Prey. The Saint Germain Cup is currently housed in the National Museum of Archaeology in France.
