About the Item

With legend in the base ("Catavino del Ilustrísimo Cabildo de Becerril de Campos con Real Privilege año de 1806"). Published in: Fernández, Alejandro et alt. Encyclopedia of Silver Spanish and American Viceregal, Torreangulo Graphic Art, Madrid, 1985. Pág. 485. / Redondo Aguayo, Anselmo. Historical monograph of the town of Becerril de Campos and biographical news of his most illustrious sons. Bulletin of the Institution Tello Tellez de Meneses, 9, 1952. Page 149. Smooth "tastevin" with legend on the outer edge. Due to its shape, it is closer to the Bordeauxtype catavinos than to the Burgundian type (the most common ones), and its shape seems to have been characteristic in Castile in the 17th century; It has not changed since then, maintaining its use and its manufacture. According to experts, this type of pieces were called "cups" until the 19th century, and we are not entirely sure that their use was merely utilitarian, inclining certain studies for a mainly decorative function. This would be the reason why, despite being a piece made in a secondary manufacturing center such as that municipality of Palencia, it has decoration throughout its surface, in addition to the written legend. The motifs of gallons, like the oval shapes, are geometric decorations very used in this type of pieces, especially since the Renaissance and by the inspiration of this artistic style in Roman antiquity. In the 19th century, this inspiration in classicism returned to art, from the hand of Neoclassicism. Despite the simplicity of the elements, there is a clear attempt by the artist to organize them harmoniously to give beauty to the piece. Both the material and the decorative excess (to come from a local center) support the theory, already mentioned, that the "catavinos" would have more use of representation than normal use, being used in certain celebrations or events in which the council had a prominent role In the study of Anselmo Redondo this catavino is mentioned. It is very rare to keep examples of civil silverware, as their owners used to sell objects with the intention of buying new ones, either better or made in another more modern artistic style, or for economic needs. Thus, the most common is to find religious silverware, which is the same as the civil or changing only in its decorative elements. In addition, they used to give civil pieces to churches, convents, etc. as donations from individuals. It is important, however, to highlight the extraordinary nature of this catavinos: first, because of its material; second, by its typology; third, because its registration makes it easy to locate its origin and date. "Catavinos" of similar characteristics are present at the Lázaro Galdiano Foundation in Madrid. Weight: 315 gr. Size: 19 x 19 x 6 cms.
