Rare Luiz & David Ferreira Porto 833 Silver Dog Head Stirrup Cup
About the Item
This unusual 833 silver stirrup cup was made in Portugal by Luiz & David Ferreira and was designed for use as a drinking vessel by hunters on horseback. The cup has been made in the form of a lifelike hound's head and features crisply detailed facial features that include eyes intently focused on something just above the plane of its long pointed snout. The dog's ears are laid back, adding to the impression that it is absorbed with something of great interest. The surface of the hound's head, ears, and neck bear linear decoration mimicking short fur. Its neck is encircled by a collar equipped with a buckle at the back and an oval ring at the front. The bottom is finished with a rolled and polished rim.
The stirrup cup is in very good original condition with no repairs. It has not been polished in order to preserve the finish. As a vintage item, the piece shows signs of age and wear including light scuffs and scratches. The piece stands 4.75"at its tallest and is 2.375" by 2.25" across the base. It weighs 156.3 grams and has a 10-fluid-ounce capacity. The cup bears Luiz & David Ferreira's mark located at the dog's throat reading "DAVID FERREIRA PORTO" along with the initials "LF" in a cartouche-shaped shield. It also carries the domestic second standard Eagle 833 silver mark in use between 1887-1984 along with an illegible mark.
This beautifully made .833 silver dog's head stirrup cup would be a fantastic addition to a collection of antique/vintage stirrup cups or works equally well showcased on its own. A lovely and highly desirable example of the genre.

- Georg Jensen Sterling Silver Tazza Compote 263B, Grape MotifBy Georg JensenLocated in Cincinnati, OHVintage Georg Jensen sterling silver tazza compote with grape motif. This fabulous Georg Jensen sterling silver tazza features Jensen's iconic grape motif, a celebrated range of pieces which were inspired by the Art Nouveau aesthetic coupled with time the artist spent traveling in Italy. Georg Jensen was born in 1866 and trained as a sculptor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, graduating in 1892. Jensen began his artistic career in ceramics and started working with silver in 1904. He went on to establish his own smithy in Copenhagen and like many others working during the Art Nouveau period, was strongly influenced by natural forms and structure found in flowers and plants. As mentioned above, Jensen spent time in Italy shortly after the turn of the century and developed an appreciation for ancient Roman silver work. He was also struck by the work of more recent Italian artists and was particularly influenced by those pieces which drew upon classical mythology, such as Baroque painter Caravaggio's 'Bacchus'. Jensen combined these influences with emerging Art Nouveau organic motifs, leading him to utilize the malleable qualities of silver to create his renowned Grape Collection. This form of this silver tazza was initially designed by Jensen in 1918. The piece has a round pedestal foot which rises to a thick columnar stem reminiscent of the twisting trunk...Category
