About the Item

Jug. Silver. Anselm Prior and Mason. Vitoria, Spain, between 1816 and 1846. With contrast markings. Silver jug in its color with a square base that serves as a support for the circular foot decorated with a band of ova and that ends in a gallon shape, which gives way to the ovate body, engraved with architectural, plant, and animal elements; practically tubular neck with a band of ova motifs and another band at the top of architectural elements, and a soft beak; lid with a swan, and the handle presents a head of Medusa in the area where it joins the body, a series of bands of architectural motifs and, creating a curve and towards the mouth, a two-headed serpent that seems to intend to attack the bird. Typologically, the jug clearly responds to 19th century neoclassical models both in its lines and in some of its decorative elements (some close to the French school and others more common in the English school), adding to this base some more common detail in Spanish works. . The hallmarks, located at the base of the piece, link its creation in Vitoria, with the faithful hallmark called Maison (actual 18th-19th centuries, surely a faithful hallmark in the 19th century) and the silversmith named Prior. Anselmo Prior was a teacher dated between 1816 and 1846. There is evidence of a head reliquary marked by both of the Eleven Thousand Virgins in the parish church of Alegría (Álava, Spain). Weight: 992 grams. Size: 15 x 12 x 30 cm.
