Minor traces of wear to the gilding of the sea horse, the foot and the background of the enamel plaque. Otherwise, the cup is in very good condition overall. Very nice and attractive piece.

Catalogue Note
La pierre, une agate jaune à tâches rouges, se rapproche d'une coupe conservée au Musée du Louvre (Galerie d'Apollon, OA 10) attribuée à un atelier milanais du troisième quart du XVIème siècle (op. cit ill. p 290). En revanche la monture en vermeil avec tiges à trois consoles feuillagées et la base ornée d'oves ainsi que la prise en hippocampe semblent avoir été réalisées dans l'empire germanique, peut être dans l'atelier des Miseroni à Prague ou Vienne à l'instar de la coupe conservée au Kunsthistorische Museum de Vienne (Inv. NR KK 1824).
