SILVER CUP (“TEMBLADERA”). 18TH CENTURY.
Antiques - Miscellaneus / Silver
Reference: ZE192
Wine tasting glass or shudder. Silver. 18th century. Without contrast marks. A vessel known as a wine glass or tembladera, with two closed, flat, S-shaped handles and a line of "bites" (scalloped shapes) highlighted by bands of dots that extend into the interior of the piece. The bottom has a star-shaped pattern (leaving some stripes smooth and with a glossy finish, forming a Maltese Cross, and combining the remaining areas with the same finish with others in diamond-shaped, pricked luster with dots). The bernegales and tembladeras de bocados were common pieces in 17th-century Spanish silverwork, generally becoming relegated to less important centers in the 18th century. Compare with pieces such as the silver bernegal from the last third of the 17th century in the Lázaro Galdiano Museum (perhaps of the Portuguese school; inventory 3916), or the one dated between 1640 and 1665 in the same museum (inventory 3910), or the one by José Jiménez de Illescas (inventory 3915, dated 1715-1725) in the same institution.
