Cette forme de coupe est une version simplifiée de la coupe Ancolie ou Akeleipokal typique de Nuremberg puisque c’était l’objet de maîtrise de tout prétendant au titre de maître-orfèvre. Il est ainsi intéressant de noter qu'Emmerling la réalise au début de sa carrière qui commence en 1587, laissant supposer qu'elle ait pu être un objet de maîtrise. Stylistiquement elle est à rapprocher de la coupe conservée au Badisches Landesmuseum de Karlsruhe (inv. No 58/36), illustrée dans H. Kolhlhausen, Nürnberger Goldschmiedekunst des Mittelalters und der Durerezeit 1240 bis 1540, p. 346, No 384.
