Silver Cup "Tembladera", 18th Century

About the Item

Without hallmarks. Silver drinking cup with smooth edges, handles in the shape of a crowned animal (rampant lions with curved tail towards the back) and a decoration at the bottom of the piece of lines framing a simple flower. In the Spanish silverware the tendencies of the Baroque were maintained during almost the first two thirds of the 18th century, except in the capital, where Rococo shapes are already introduced without displacing the previous ones. It would not be until 1740 when French silversmiths introduced these novelties in Madrid, which would spread slowly through the rest of the centers, depending on areas and silversmiths. This survival of the shapes of the 17th century can be seen in the fact that "bernegales de bocados" (shell-shaped borders in the cups) were, in general, more common pieces in the 17th century, remaining during the 18th century relegated to centers far from the main creative areas. Compare this example with the one preserved in the Vivanco Foundation, dated in the first third of the 18th century (inv 002208), or colonial pieces from private collections (with figurative handles reminiscent of those of this piece) or preserved in prominent institutions such as the set of tray and cup in the Monastery of the Concepcionistas de Ágreda (Soria), pieces in the National Museum of Decorative Arts of Madrid, etc. Weight: 110 gr. Size: 15 x 10.5 x 4.5 cms.
