Wine tasting glasses. Silver. Possibly Navarre, Spain, circa 1700. Wine-tasting glass with a foot made of silver in its own color. The foot features a decoration of plain moldings, and the top has a scalloped and raised centerpiece with plant motifs in alternating bands with oval mirrors around it, followed by a recessed area and, towards the outside, a band with semicircular arches with teardrops and simple elements at the top, all closed by a pearl chain. Stylistically, they are very reminiscent of Miguel de Amasa's 1697 design for his examination to become a master silversmith. Compare also with the two salvillas that follow this design and are preserved in the Museum of Workmanship of the Church of San Saturnino in Pamplona (Navarre, Spain), which are considered the work of Miguel de Amasa, made in Pamplona and dated 1697 (these bear a hallmark, the double P crowned with a chain border, which was used in Pamplona silverwork between 1652 and the first quarter of the 18th century). Weight: 294 grams.
