About the Item

Bernegal. Gilded silver. Valladolid, 17th century. With contrast and burirado mark. Cup with a circular foot (bernegal) decorated with fine smooth moldings and a gallon body (ten bites) with engraved plant-themed decoration on the inside and outside, made of gilded silver and which also has two “ce” handles enhanced with strings of pearls decreasing in the upper part and a spherical element inside, at the junction of the gallons, reminiscent of a bezoar stone. The mark of contrast that places the cup's creation in Valladolid is similar to that present in other outstanding pieces such as the late 16th century spout jug by Lázaro de Encalada from the Várez-Fisa Collection. Compare also with the Mexican bernegal and salvilla of the Monastery of the Conceptionists of Ágreda in Soria, decorated with vegetalized braces; with the 17th century bernegal from Toledo from the Lázaro Galdiano Museum in Madrid (inv. 03910); and with one from the collection of the Valencia de Don Juan Foundation (Madrid). Likewise, note the similarity with a copy from a private Chilean collection from the galleon Nuestra Señora de la Médica y Pura Concepción (which follows what is considered the traditional model in South America with a smooth, gallon-shaped body with ten bites of equal size, two handles in “ce” raised above the mouth and a low circular foot), and with the one made before 1622 (date of the shipwreck) from the ship Nuestra Señora de Atocha, also in a private collection (considerable size, shape similar to the present, etc. .). Likewise, it is necessary to mention the oil painting from the Masaveu Collection (Oviedo) by Juan Bautista de Espinosa known as “Still life with goldsmith's objects” made in 1624, since the bernegal with salvilla located in the center of the composition bears a notable resemblance with this piece. Called glass of morsels or glass of morsels at the time, they were common pieces until the 18th century in Spain, and sometimes a bezoar stone was placed at the bottom to, according to the beliefs of the time, detect or neutralize poisons (however, other times It was a different element, adding a touch of surprise to the person who used it). Frequently, they were made to match a salvilla, decorating both in a similar way. It should be noted that they have not been preserved in a very significant number because the reuse of the material in other works is common (very few have come to us from Spain, although some more of those that were manufactured in Latin America). Very simliar model auctioned at Sothebys February 2, 2024. Lot 6.
