Published Encyclopedia of Spanish and Viceregal American silver. Bibliography: Fernández, Alejandro; Munoa, Raphael; Rabasco, Jorge. “Encyclopedia of Spanish and Viceregal American Silver”. Second edition, corrected and enlarged. Torreangulo Graphic Art, Madrid, 1985. Page 361, image 671.
Jug with circular molded foot and semiovate belly on which, by means of a band, a neck with a concave profile rises. The mouth, with a sinuous outline, is enhanced with another fine smooth molding and is warped on the front; cover with a capper or cover that follows the same lines and has been finished off with a frog. The handle has a broken line path, ends in plant motifs and has been enhanced with a wide and smooth band or molding towards the center of it. This jug can be included within a group that is inspired by a model of European tradition brought to Spain and spread, initially, by Platerías Martínez (compare, noting similarities and differences, with the silver jug in its marked color in 1806 from the Royal Silver Factory of Madrid of the National Archaeological Museum, also topped with a frog on the lid; or with a jug from Barcelona dated around 1810, preserved in the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid). In 18th-century Spain, it was the capital that set the standard for silverware: baroque, rococo and neoclassical styles coexist, but the first trend was soon abandoned, replaced by the second that was introduced around 1740, with Neoclassicism appearing approximately in 1770 and gradually imposing itself from 1780. The contrasting marks that it presents are those of the Villa and Court of Madrid, which, in addition, allow the piece to be dated.
