SILVER CUP (“TEMBLADERA”). 17TH CENTURY.
Antiques - Miscellaneus / Silver
Reference: ZE195
Wine tasting glass or shudder. Silver. 17th century. Without contrast marks. A vessel known as a wine glass or tasting glass, with two flat, closed "S"-shaped handles (decorated with simplified plant motifs) and a line of "bites" (scalloped shapes) highlighted with bands of dots. On the inside bottom, there is an eight-petaled flower engraved with a cross inside. 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. Weight: 96 g.
