Silver Tastevin “Tembladera” Northern Spain, Cantabria, 1739

About the Item

With inscription. Without hallmarks. Circular “bowl” with smooth mouth and bottom of smaller diameter decorated with two handles (“S” shapped) and an inscription in the outer edge that reads: “Soy del noble conzefo de Santiux de que nos las presento nuestro vezino Jul de las Cuevas Zeballos año de 1739” ("I am of the noble conzefo de Santiux of which we presented them our vezino Jul of the Cuevas Zeballos year of 1739 "). 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 forms are already introduced without displacing the previous ones. It would not be until 1740 when French silversmiths introduced these novelties in Madrid, from where the new style would spread slowly to the rest of the centers. This survival of the forms of the 17th century can be seen in the handles of the piece: “grotesques” with human heads are highlighted by plant motives, abundant decorative contrasts with the clean lines of the rest of the work but it is common in this type of work. The lack of hallmarks does not allow locating the work or the artist, although it is precisely this that speaks in favor of a secondary silversmith center, where the absence of control of these works was more usual due to the lack of teachers and means to ensure compliance with the marking regulations. Throughout these first two thirds of the 18th century, the monotony of the centers of Old Castile (to which Cantabria belonged), León and Galicia compared to the importance of Valladolid and Salamanca was noticeable in the Cantabrian environment. The inscription clarifies the purpose of the tembladera: a gift to the Council of Santiurde de Reinosa (Cantabria) from Juan de las Cuevas Ceballos, a native of this town and neightbour of El Puerto de Santa María de Cádiz who, moreover, proved its nobility in 1733 before the Hall of the Hijosdalgo of the Royal Chancery of Valladolid. So, this piece was made for civil use. Weight: 165 gr. • Size: 15x11x6.5 cms.
