Symbol of the collection of glasses, the crystalline glass chalice was probably commissioned by a successor of Francesco Sforza, perhaps Ludovico il Moro. Adorned with drops of red and white enamel and golden hemispheres, it bears two Sforza heraldic plaques surmounted by a golden ducal crown. In the quadripartite coat of arms we recognize the Visconti snakes and the imperial eagles.
