About the Item

Jug or jug. Silver in its color. MARTINEZ MORENO, Mateo. Cordoba, Spain, possibly 1797. With contrast and chisel marks. Made in silver in its color, the jug has an oval base, which rises flat until it reaches a molding with vertical lines grouped three by three; after it, it presents a curve and a decoration of engraved circles until it reaches the body of the piece. This is divided into three areas, a widening below until reaching the central area and, finally, another curve to the mouth, all decorated with a series of curved "gajos" of different widths. The handle, of a type known as a brace, presents architectural and plant decorations. The lid repeats the lines of the body and ends with a vegetable shape, in addition to presenting a piece towards the handle. The peak, curved towards the outside, shows two moldings halfway down. The typology to which this jug belongs was common in Spanish silverware during the Rococo, being able to find models similar to the present both in the capital and in other centers. With Felipe V, numerous French influences came to silverware, along with some Italian ones, both at the hands of craftsmen of these origins and pieces. It continues with a scarce marking 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 tone for the rest, the former soon departed, introducing the Rococo before 1740 or on that date, and Neoclassicism around 1770 (gradually imposing itself from 1780). Let us remember, once again, that the jug follows the most common prototype since the arrival of the Bourbons, characterized by its European influence and by the great difference it shows with the type known as "spout jug" (present in the Renaissance, etc. ). It presents several contrasting marks in different points of the piece, some frustras (partially preserved). It is possible to identify the name of the town, Córdoba, and that of the master silversmith, missing the complete identification of the numbering alluding to the date of creation of the work. Mateo Martínez Moreno was active in Córdoba during approximately the second half of the 18th century and was a faithful contrast to the same city between 1780 and 1804 (the year in which he died).
