Condition

In overall good condition. Marked on body and foot, the body also stamped with another mark, IF within an esctucheon. Re-marked with Austro-Hungarian import mark and early 19th century Prague control mark . The Moses scenes framed with inscription "Gott erscheint Mosi im Feuwer/ Der Egypten Wasser wirdt zu Blut gar/ Moses hilft Jethro Schaff trancken" which might be translated as "God appears to Moses in the fire/ The Egyptian water turns to blood/ Moses helps Jethro's sheep to drink". Very fine quality of chasing.
