Catalogue Note
Les armes sont celles de la maison princière des Colloredo-Mansfeld, originaire du Frioul (Italie du Nord) qui érigea le château de Colloredo près d'Aquilée, sur le littoral, proche de la Vénétie, en 1302. Ils furent sucessivement titrés baron en 1588, Grand Ecuyer tranchant du royaume de Bohême en 1723, comte du Saint-Empire en 1724, prince du Saint-Empire en 1763, prince autrichien en 1764. Ils joignirent le nom de Mansfeld au leur lors de l'alliance du prince Franz-Gundaccar Colloredo avec Maria-Isabella, princesse de Fondi et comtesse de Mansfeld, en 1771.
Cette soupière a été réalisée par Klinkosh, le célèbre orfèvre de la Cour de Vienne, pour Son Altesse Sérénissime Joseph Franz Hieronymus, 5ème prince de Colloredo-Mansfeld (1813-1895), chambellan de l'empire d'Autriche, membre du conseil de l'empereur, chevalier de la Toison d'Or, qui épouse en 1841 Marie-Thérèse de Lebzeltern.
