Lot Essay

Notre coupe polylobée par sa délicate forme évasée se terminant par une lèvre supérieure ondulée peut être comparée à une coupe de la collection du prince de Liechtenstein, datée vers 1680 par E. Philippovich (loc. cit.). The lobed decoration of the present cup, with its gently flaring form and waved upper lip can be compared to a cup in the collection of the Prince of Liechtenstein, dated by Philippovich to circa 1680 (loc. cit.).
