Sapieha beaker
The silver Sapieha beaker is a 16th-century beaker, which originally belonged to Grygor Sapieha and was made in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The Sapieha family played an important role in Lithuania's history through much of the 16th century. In 2007 the beaker was auctioned at Christie's London for £132,500.〔Christies.

==Beaker==
The unmarked silver part gilt beaker was made in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania around 1560.〔 Its height is and total weight is .〔
The beaker's form is a waisted cylinder with flared lip; the border to the flat base is engraved with gilded foliage and encircled by two mystical animals, which resemble serpents. Their scaly tails coil round a moon-shaped face, their bodies engraved with inscription and with foliage at the points they cross.〔 The early Slavonic language inscription reads: ''This cup was made for master Gregory of Orsha, for friendship to those who drink from it for the good of their souls, in the year 1560, the month of March, on the first day''.〔 The beaker is also engraved with a heart-shaped pendant and double cross. Christie's experts suggest that an early version of Sapieha's coat of arms is depicted on the beaker.
It is believed that the beaker belonged to Grygor Sapieha, younger brother of Lew Sapieha.〔Lietuvos Rytas (Už Lietuvos didikų relikviją – milijonas litų ).

Later the beaker changed hands and in the early 20th century it finally appeared in the collection of Eugéne Lubovitch.〔Blasas.lt (Mecenatai Respublikos Prezidentui įteikė Lietuvai padovanotą taurę ).

In 2007 the beaker was sold at Christie's for £132,500 (US$274,408),〔〔 to an anonymous buyer.
