Catavinos or scrapie. Silver in its color. Spain, 16th Century.
With contrast marks, illegible.
Cup without foot or handles, in silver in its color and with a circular base, flared rim towards the outside and concave center upwards on the inside, which has an embossed decoration based on plant elements (flowers on the rim, other different towards the center around a central floral motif and alternating with rectangular motifs), veined shapes (interspersed with flowers on the edge) and a small band of stars towards the edge of the piece. At this end, it has a partially frustrated contrast mark, in which the letters “AIEB” can still be read, followed by a rectangular motif located vertically. This type of drinking cups, sometimes also known as bernegales, were used on special occasions (ceremonies…), hence their material and decoration, and they were very common during the reign of the Habsburgs in Spain. Although they were objects for civil use, it was not unusual for them to be donated or commissioned for use in churches or in liturgical settings. Similar examples can be found in very few private collections and only in a few major museums. For example, similar bernegals from the 16th century are preserved at the Valencia de Don Juan Foundation (Madrid), and those from the 17th century are somewhat more abundant, as shown by those in the Lázaro Galdiano Museum (inventory 3910 and 3916). ·
Size: 16x16x2 cm. Weight: 190 gr.
