專家說明

Charles Duron, the distinguished French goldsmith, exhibited gold-mounted hardstones in the Renaissanec taste at the International Exhibition in London in 1862 and Paris 1867, to considerable acclaim. A vase decorated in a similar style to this cup is in the Kunstgewerbemuseum, Berlin and another is illustrated by Howard Ricketts, Objects of Vertu, London, 1989, p. 88.
