Published in 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 240; page 430, image 1472.
Jug or pitcher of silver in its color, with a circular foot decorated with moldings and a string of pearls, semi-ovate belly on which, by means of a band of classicist architectural motifs, a curve, a step and a high neck with a concave profile rise. The mouth, with a sinuous outline and enhanced with another band of plant elements, presents an elevation towards the spout, and covers with a cap or lid topped with a swan-shaped knob. The handle is a feline with a round shape, in an attitude of stalking towards the bird. Typologically, the piece follows neoclassical models, brought from Europe to Madrid and spread from this place. Likewise, it should be noted that the handle with a figurative element of a round shape is not entirely common, although there are known examples in private collections of jars with handles in the shape of a grotesque, lion, etc. The contrast marks that it presents place the creation of the piece in Vitoria, by the silversmith Argandoña and with the faithful Maison contrast. Tomás de Argandoña is active in the city between 1790 and 1810, while the Maison has been dated to between the 18th and 19th centuries.
