Wine tasting glass or shudder. Silver. 18th century. A vessel known as a wine glass or tembladera (due to its lack of a foot), made of silver in its natural color, with two flat, curved handles decorated with simplified vegetal motifs, and a line of scalloped shapes (lobed forms) around the rim, enhanced by bands of recessed dots that remain in relief on the interior of the piece, where they extend and frame the background decoration. A flower, highlighted with a line of dots, is located in this area. Bernegales and tembladeras with scalloped shapes 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 that of José Jiménez de Illescas (inventory 3915, dated 1715-1725) in the same institution.

Wine-tasting glass or wine cup. Silver. 18th century. A vessel known as a wine-tasting glass or tembladera (since it has no foot), made of silver in its natural color, with two flat, C-shaped handles topped with scrolls and decorated with undulating elements on the exterior. The rim (outside) is decorated with simple vegetal motifs alternating with simple geometric elements created with lines and dots. A vegetal motif appears on the inside bottom. In Spanish silversmithing, Baroque trends persisted for almost the first two-thirds of the 18th century, except in the capital, where Rococo forms were introduced without displacing the earlier styles. It wasn't until 1740 that French silversmiths introduced these innovations to Madrid, which then spread slowly to other centers, depending on the region and the master craftsman. This persistence of 17th-century forms can be seen in the fact that bernegales tembladeras were, in general, more common pieces in the 17th century, becoming relegated during the 18th century to centers far removed from the main areas of production. Weight: 91 grams.

Landscape. Oil on canvas. GARCÍA LESMES, Aurelio (Valladolid, Spain, 1884-Mexico City, Mexico, 1942). Signed (lower right area). Aurelio García Lesmes was a Spanish painter who began his training in Valladolid and, thanks to a grant from the Provincial Council, continued it at the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. It was in Madrid that he gained wider recognition at the National Fine Arts Exhibitions (winning a Third Medal in 1917, a Second in 1922, and a First in 1926). In the capital, he met Valle-Inclán, Ricardo Baroja, Darío de Regoyos, and others, and alternated his time there with extended periods in Valladolid, where he painted his well-known canvases of Castilian countryside. Over time, he established himself as one of the most prestigious Spanish landscape painters of his era and set up his studio in Valladolid. After the Spanish Civil War, he went into exile in Mexico. His work can be seen in prominent institutions such as the Reina Sofía National Art Centre (Madrid) and the Patio Herreriano Museum (Valladolid).

Glazed porcelain vase with a hand-painted pastoral scene. Inspired by designs from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres. The lines of the work and its decorative elements are inspired by classical antiquity: the pine cone on the lid, the egg-and-dart molding on the vase, the vegetal scrolls on the pedestal, the four female masks that decorate the handles, etc. All of this, in addition to its characteristic blue color and the idealized pastoral scene on the front, clearly shows the relationship with Neoclassical models from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres (France).

Shepherd's box. Carved horn, wood, metal. Spanish school, 1861. It presents inscriptions. An oval box made of carved horn in its natural color, with a wooden lid for reinforcement, decorated on the exterior with a series of engraved elements.

This type of box, of folk tradition, was common in the past and was usually made by shepherds or cattle farmers themselves to store snuff or tobacco.

This blend of styles was common in high-quality 19th-century European furniture.

Originally of Italian origin, the frailero armchair became one of the most common pieces of Spanish furniture after its introduction in the 16th century, being characteristic of that century and the 17th, and experiencing a revival in the historicist movement of the 19th century. Because it was such a deeply rooted tradition in Spain, this type of chair continued to be produced throughout the years.

Ewer with basin. Glazed porcelain. Moritz Zdekauer, Altrohlau, Czech Republic, late 19th century. With markings on the base. A set of ewer and tray decorated with bands of floral motifs in vibrant shades of blue, red, and gold. The center of the ewer features a female figure, a motif found in many of the factory's pieces and hand-painted, which may have been created by an artist named Asti. The tray displays two other tondos with female portraits, in the same style. The marks on the base identify the piece as a work made at the Moritz Zdekauer factory in Altrohlau (now in the Czech Republic, but formerly part of the Habsburg Empire). It operated between 1884 and 1909, changing its brand to MZ Altrolau from that date onward, continuing its work until 1945. After World War II, it was nationalized and continued under the name Starorolsky Porcelan Moritz Zdekauer.
