A GERMAN SILVER-GILT MOUNTED OSTRICH EGG CUP
MAKER'S MARK OF ELIAS ADAM, AUGSBURG, 1717-1721
On circular base chased with strapwork on matted ground, the stem formed as a mermaid supporting the egg above, the three straps engraved with Régence style motifs, the cover similarly chased, and with infant Bacchus finial, marked on reverse, border and cover
Two other similar cups mounted by Elias Adam, master from 1703-1745, in the 17th century style are recorded. One, dated 1725, has a mermaid stem supporting a carved egg with the bird's neck and head forming the cover of the cup (sold, Sotheby's, Mentmore sale, 19th May 1977, lot 663). The second one also has a carved egg but the stem is formed as Bacchus and the finial as a swirling branch (on loan to the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford from a private collection).
