Spice rack. Silver. Spain, Cordoba, second half of the 18th century. With contrast marks. Silver spice rack in its colour with a truncated cone-shaped body, a sinuous lower edge resting on legs with scrolls and plant motifs, a semi-spherical bowl without divisions, a lid with a dome-shaped hinge and decorated with plant elements in high relief. The lid features a rose surrounded by a line of dots that create waves. The hallmarks place the piece's production in Córdoba, verified by Damián de Castro and by the hand of Juan Sánchez Soto (probably Cristóbal's son and brother), in the second half of the 18th century. Typologically, this is a spice rack belonging to a somewhat peculiar tradition or model, common in Córdoba and Madrid but also present in Gerona, Antequera, etc. Weight: 87 grams.
