Lot Essay

A similar beaker by Lambert Muntinck is illustrated in Jean-Pierre van Rijen, Groninger Keur, Zilver uit Stad en Ommelanden, page 46, number 2.
The engraving on the beaker is finely executed. The lower part of the beaker is engraved with some small grotesque figures possibly based on prints by J. Callot.
