Also known as "catavinos", this type of drinking cups were used on special occasions (ceremonies ...), hence their material and the decoration they have, and were very common during the reign of the Habsburgs in Spain. Although they were objects of civil use, it was not strange that they were donated or ordered for their use in churches or in liturgical areas. Both the decoration and the shape of the cup show the origin of the same artistic core away from the main silversmith centers. Compare, for example, with the "bernegal" with handles in the form of cartons from the Museo del Prado in Madrid (catalog O00085) made in the late 16th century, which presents the upper part carved in concave double gallons and shows vegetable prints...

Antique Art Deco Jaume Mercade Queralt solid .916 silver handmade 196 piece flatware set that serves 12. The set is complete without a single missing piece. It is in excellent condition, just perfect with a lovely patina. The entire set is hand-wrought. The style is a genuine mix of Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Arts & Crafts. The rounded tiered handles are Art Deco, the hand-forged Hammer marks tell of their Arts & Crafts influence and the monogram is the epitome of flowing tendril like Art Nouveau design. The set is hand made by the studio of Jaume Mercade Queralt (1887-1967). Mercade was a painter, jeweler and silversmith who from 1919 taught gold and silver making at the School of Arts & Crafts in Bracelona Spain. While one can occasionally find his original jewelry and paintings on the market his silverware and hollowware is excessively rare and usually only found in museums. This set is hallmarked with Spains pre - 1934 silver hallmarks. From between 1884-1934 there were not mandatory silver hallmarks for Spanish silverware however the maker or purchaser could choose to have a professional assayer test the pieces. This large set was assayed by two different Barcelona assayers who have signed the works (except the hollow handled knives). All of the pieces are marked Mercade but some of them have the Spanish crest in wreath signifying that it is at least 916/1000 silver and LBB which is the initials of the assayer. The rest are marked Mercade SA 916/1000 and the other assayers mark which I cannot quite read. The set consists of 196 pieces that serve 12: 12 - large soup spoons at 7.6" long. 12 - table spoons at 6.75". 12 - cream soup spoons at 5.9". 12 - ice cream spoons at 5.75". 18 - teaspoons at 5.75". 12 - desert / salad forks at 7". 12 - seafood or cocktail forks at 5.95". 12 - regular / lunch forks at 6.8". 12 - dinner forks at 8.1". 12 - terrapin turtle or ramekin forks at 5.5". 12 - breakfast / desert knives at 6.75". 12 - individual butter knives at 6.25". 12 - fish knives at 8.25". 12 - luncheon knives at 7.75". 12 - dinner knives at 9.9".
