Jug. Silver. SELLÁN, Juan. Madrid, 1847. With contrast marks. A silver jug in its original color, featuring a flat handle decorated with simple openwork plant elements between two plain bands, a raised shape, a large mouth extended forward, and a body with distinct lines and decorations arranged in three registers. The circular foot features a band of architectural motifs. These three registers are arranged as follows: a plain area facing upwards, followed by a fluted section and a scalloped section. Both the decoration and the lines of the jug show a clear Classicist influence. It features engraved initials (FAL). The hallmarks are those of the Villa y Corte de Madrid (which also provide the date) and that of the silversmith Juan Sellán, who trained at the Royal Silversmith Factory of Martínez in 1821 and joined the College of Silversmiths in 1842, the year in which his first known works are dated. The present model can be found with slight variations in the production of the Royal Silversmith Factory of Martínez in Madrid, and was later revived by Juan Sellán. Weight: 1108 grams.
