Jug or Jar, Silver, Madrid, Spain, 1803
About the Item
Jug. Silver. Madrid, Spain, 1803. With contrast markings.
Published Encyclopedia of Spanish and Viceregal American silver. Bibliography: Fernández, Alejandro; Munoa, Raphael; Rabasco, Jorge. "Encyclopedia of Spanish and Viceregal American Silver". Second edition, corrected and enlarged. Torreangulo Graphic Art, Madrid, 1985. Page 361, image 671.
Jug with circular molded foot and semiovate belly on which, by means of a band, a neck with a concave profile rises. The mouth, with a sinuous outline, is enhanced with another fine smooth molding and is warped on the front; cover with a capper or cover that follows the same lines and has been finished off with a frog. The handle has a broken line path, ends in plant motifs and has been enhanced with a wide and smooth band or molding towards the center of it. This jug can be included within a group that is inspired by a model of European tradition brought to Spain and spread, initially, by Platerías Martínez (compare, noting similarities and differences, with the silver jug in its marked color in 1806 from the Royal Silver Factory of Madrid of the National Archaeological Museum, also topped with a frog on the lid; or with a jug from Barcelona dated around 1810, preserved in the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid). In 18th-century Spain, it was the capital that set the standard for silverware: baroque, rococo and neoclassical styles coexist, but the first trend was soon abandoned, replaced by the second that was introduced around 1740, with Neoclassicism appearing approximately in 1770 and gradually imposing itself from 1780. The contrasting marks that it presents are those of the Villa and Court of Madrid, which, in addition, allow the piece to be dated.

- Silver Jar or Jug, De San Faurí, Juan, Spain, Madrid, 18th CenturyBy Spanish ManufactoryLocated in Madrid, ESJug or jug. Silver. DE SAN FAURÍ, Juan (1745-1785). Spain, Madrid, towards the last third of the 18th century. With contrast and burilada marks, and property name (Ochoa). The jug has an oval base with slight curves and a body divided into two areas (wider in the lower half, slightly concave in the upper half) with a series of curved “gajos”; the peak shows simple architectural decoration and smooth areas; the handle is of a type known as brace, with classicist architectural elements; the lid follows the lines of the body and is finished off with a vegetable shape creating a knob. On one of the sides, towards the foot, there is the engraved text "Ochoa", referring to a former owner. Contrasting marks place the creation of the piece in Madrid. Another one that appears could be one of those used by the silversmith Juan de San Faurí. With Felipe V, numerous French influences, along with some Italian ones, came to silverware, both from the hand of craftsmen of these origins and from pieces. Little marking continues in the works, except in important centers such as Madrid, and civil typologies acquired great importance. As in the rest of the country, the Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassical tendencies coexisted at the Court, although, being the center that set the standard for the rest, the former soon departed, introducing Rococo before 1740 or on that date, and Neoclassicism around 1770 (gradually imposing itself from 1780). The jug follows the most common prototype since the arrival of the Bourbons, characterized by its European influence and the great difference it shows with the type known as the “spout jug”. Compare with the Francisco García...Category

Published in Encyclopedia of Spanish and Viceregal American Silver. Bibliography: Fernández, Alejandro; Munoa, Raphael; Rabasco, Jorge. "Encyclopedia of Spanish and Viceregal American Silver". Second edition, corrected and enlarged. Torreangulo Graphic Art, Madrid, 1985. Page 240; page 430, image 1472.

The mouth, with a sinuous outline and enhanced with another band of plant elements, presents an elevation towards the spout, and covers with a cap or lid topped with a swan-shaped knob. The handle is a feline with a round shape, in an attitude of stalking towards the bird. Typologically, the piece follows neoclassical models, brought from Europe to Madrid and spread from this place. Likewise, it should be noted that the handle with a figurative element of a round shape is not entirely common, although there are known examples in private collections of jars...Category
