An Augsburg parcel gilt silver shell goblet

The lower section of the tiered oval base embossed with auricular style mascarons, the upper designed as an earth mound with rocks and foliage. The shaft formed as a model of a Roman emperor dressed in armour and a drapery with one hand resting on his left hip, the other raised above his head to support the large, shell shaped cup. The outer surface reiterates the auricular embossing of the base. With an angular curving handle, the vessel presumably used in a lavabo garniture or as a pitcher. H 33.5 cm, weight 639 g.
Marks of Peter I Neuß, 1679 – 81.

Provenance

Huelsmann art dealers, Hamburg, 1980, Schwarzhaupt collection, Cologne.
