Catavinos or quaking glass. Silver. 18th century. Without contrast marks. Vessel known as catavinos or tembladera with two flat, closed “S” shaped handles and a line of “bites” (gallon-shaped shapes) highlighted by bands of dots that move to the inside of the piece. The bottom has a star shape (leaving smooth and with a shiny finish some stripes forming a Maltese Cross, and combining in the rest areas in the same finish with others in diamond-shaped lustre with dots). The bernegales and tembladeras with mortise-shaped pieces were frequent pieces in Spanish silverwork in the 17th century, usually being relegated to centres of somewhat less importance in the 18th century. Compare this with pieces such as the silver bernegal from the last third of the 17th century in the Lázaro Galdiano Museum (perhaps from the Portuguese school; inventory 3916), or the one dated between 1640 and 1665 from the same museum (inventory 3910), or the one by José Jiménez de Illescas (inventory 3915, dated 1715-1725) in the same institution.

Reliquary pendant. Silver, enamel, textile. 17th century. A large polygonal pendant with a silver frame in its colour decorated with small pearls of the same material located in the corners of the edge, which has a ring at the top so that it can be hung or carried. One of its fronts has a textile background under a sheet of transparent glass, probably designed to contain relics. The other has a brightly coloured enamel showing the Virgin Mary in three-quarters, with the naked Child Jesus in her arms and both figures cut out against a landscape background with classicist architectural elements (a column with a fluted shaft on a pedestal, with mouldings) and details of a natural landscape (thus linking the moment with the Rest on the Flight into Egypt; compare, also, with works such as the Virgin and Child by Anton van Dyck from the Cerralbo Museum in Madrid or the oil painting from The Walters Art Museum, or the engraving by Paulus Pontius following Van Dyck's models - where the elements coincide in arrangement with those of the medallion -, for example). This type of jewellery has always had great value, both for the materials used and for its religious content. Despite this (or perhaps because of this same appreciation) there are not many examples of quality and in good condition, and it is possible to find them only in important private collections and in outstanding museums such as the Fundación Valencia de Don Juan in Madrid, the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas in the same city, etc., or old religious centres such as the Convent of the Descalzas Reales in Madrid.

Towards the beginning of the 19th century, several “machines” were developed for washing clothes, consisting of a wooden box in which the clothes were placed and a manually operated system that moved them. Another variant was those that had a drum in which the clothes were pressed. clothes to wring them out. Electric washing machines were not created until the beginning of the 20th century (these appliances were already being advertised in the United States in 1904; apparently, the first one in Europe appeared somewhat later), becoming a mass appliance from the end of the 1900s onwards. from the 1940s to the early 1950s, and in Western Europe developed into an everyday appliance from about 1960.

Mortar. Carved stone. 18th century. Mortar made from a single piece of carved stone with a circular base and four handles or worn projections carved towards the outside of its body, in the shape of a cup. This type of piece was created for use in apothecaries (which could be in a city, in a religious institution or in a hospital) or in a kitchen (of a large residence or, again, of a religious institution), and it is not possible to specify its purpose further due to the lack of decorative elements and the usualness of the model to which this piece belongs, with a long tradition in Europe.
