“Catavinos” or bernegal. Silver. Twentieth century. Container of the type known as “tembladera” with two circular handles decorated with very simplified plant elements and a ribbed body reminiscent of the pieces called “de morsels”. Bernegales and morsel shakers were frequent pieces in Spanish silversmithing in the 17th century, usually being relegated to centers of somewhat less importance in the 18th century. During the 19th and 20th centuries, it was common in silversmithing and other arts to draw inspiration from past styles for the creation of numerous pieces, such as the present one. Weight: 151 gr.

Oval box with a flat lid made of silver in its color and decorated on the outside on the lid and base with an engraved decoration based on bands and vegetal and geometric elements. The contrast marks (located on the inside, one on the lid and three on the base) link the piece with Córdoba, at the time when Diego de la Vega y Torres was faithful contrast, dating it to 1806. The mark that remains, frustrates, perhaps it is from the silversmith Manuel Azcona y Martínez. Weight: 71 grams.

Jug. Glass, silver metal. Possibly WMF, Germany. Around 1900. With contrast markings (handle). Jug with a transparent glass body decorated with geometric elements, a circular base, a globulated body and a high cylindrical neck, which features an ornament with a “ce” handle on the top in silver metal. This has a decoration of architectural and plant elements of a marked classicist and Renaissance character, in addition to having a protome with horse's front legs next to the upper edge of the lid of the jar. The marks, present on the outer edge of the handle, would surely link the piece to the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik or WMF. In 1853, Daniel Straub and the Schweizer brothers established a metalware factory called Straub & Schweizer, which already achieved recognition at the London Exhibition in 1862 and established the first shop in Berlin in 1868. In 1880 they merged with Metallwarenfabrik Ritter & Co., forming the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF), which continues to operate today. Weight: 0.9kg.
