Description
A drinking vessel of elongated form, decorated with engraved scenes of ships and mercantile activity in a Dutch manner. The surface is structured by narrative reserves depicting maritime trade, reflecting the long-standing association of Dutch silverwork with seafaring themes and commercial identity.
The composition combines functional form with pictorial decoration, characteristic of late 19th-century Dutch production, where historical and genre scenes are integrated into tableware.
