Quaking glass or wine-tasting glass. Silver. 18th century. Vessel known as a catavinos or tembladera (as it has no foot) made of silver in its colour with two flat handles in the shape of a “C” topped by volutes and decorated with wavy elements on the outside, which has a decoration on the edge (on the outside) of simple plant elements alternating with simple geometric elements made with lines and dots. On the bottom, on the inside, there is a plant element. In Spanish silverwork, the Baroque trends were maintained for almost the first two thirds of the 18th century, except in the capital, where Rococo forms were already introduced without displacing the previous ones. It was not until 1740 when French silversmiths introduced these novelties in Madrid, which would slowly spread to the rest of the centres, depending on the areas and masters. This survival of the forms of the 17th century can be seen in the fact that bernegales tembladeras were, in general, more common pieces in the 17th century, remaining during the 18th century relegated to centres far from the main areas of creation. Weight: 91 grams.

Landscape. Oil on canvas. GARCÍA LESMES, Aurelio (Valladolid, Spain, 1884-Mexico City, Mexico, 1942). Signed (lower right area). Aurelio García Lesmes was a Spanish painter who began his training in Valladolid and, thanks to a pension from the Provincial Council, continued his training at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid, the city where he became better known at National Fine Arts Exhibitions (he won a Third Medal in 1917; Second in 1922 and First in 1926). In the capital he met Valle-Inclán, Ricardo Baroja, Darío de Regoyos, etc., and alternated his stay here with long periods in Valladolid, where he worked on his well-known canvases of Castilian fields. Over time, he established himself as one of the most prestigious Spanish landscape painters of his time and established his workshop in Valladolid. After the Civil War he went into exile in Mexico. His work can be seen in prominent institutions such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid), the Museo Patio Herreriano (Valladolid), etc.

Glazed porcelain vase with hand-painted pastoral scene.

Pastoral box. Carved horn, wood, metal. Spanish school, 1861. Submits registrations. Oval box made of antler carved in its colour, with wood on the lid to reinforce it, decorated on the outside with a series of engraved elements. On the base there is an animal or monster, on the lid there is a monstrance or ostensorium with a cross in the centre and a large base with geometric elements, surrounded by angular shapes acting as a frame. Under the antler hinge there is the date of the piece's creation (1861) and, between two bands of angular elements, an inscription (I am from francys / inverted d / a rhombus / poios), alluding to the owner (and possibly the craftsman) of the work. These types of boxes, of popular tradition, were common in ancient times and were usually made by shepherds or cattle breeders themselves to store snuff or tobacco.

Side table or “guéridon”. Mahogany, gilt bronze, onyx (possibly from Algeria). France, towards the end of the 19th century. Octagonal mahogany side table with a top made of light-coloured onyx or onyx. It has four legs joined at the bottom with a curved frame, which are joined in a central piece topped by a small vase-shaped piece. At the waist, gilded bronze applications of a classicist influence can be seen between the cubes that finish off the legs, which are decorated with bronze applications. Between each two legs there is a wooden pendant. There are known examples preserved in private collections of French furniture with onyx tops, of similar colours to this one, from Algeria. Stylistically, the table shows a strong French and neoclassical influence, with elements (the pendants) considered to have an orientalist touch.

Being such a deep-rooted tradition in Spain, this type of model was never stopped being created.

Ewer with bowl. Glazed porcelain. Mortiz Zdekauer, Altrohlau, Czech Republic, late 19th century. With marks on the base. Set of a washbasin and a tray decorated with bands of floral plant elements in bright blue, red and gold tones. The centre of the washbasin features a hand-painted female figure, present in many of the factory's works, which may have been made by an artist called Asti. The tray shows two other tondos with female portraits, following the same style. The markings on the base identify the piece as being made in the Moritz Zdekauer factory in Altrohlau (now in the Czech Republic, but formerly part of the Habsburg Empire). It was in operation between 1884 and 1909, changing its brand to MZ Altrolau from this date, continuing its work until 1945, being nationalised after the Second World War, continuing under the name Starorolsky Porcelan Mortiz Zdekauer.
