Catalogue Note
Le poinçon de charge K, une couronne fermée, est en usage à Bordeaux de 1683 à 1687 (voir J. Clarke de Dromantin, Les Orfèvres de Bordeaux, n° 17b p. 147). Il est insculpé sous le corps et sur le couvercle. Le poinçon d'orfèvre semble être celui de Jean Thibaut (JT couronné, un calice, voir le même ouvrage, p. 425). Cependant, J. Clarke de Dromantin relève que cet orfèvre n'accède à la maîtrise qu'en 1690.
