Description

Cruet for the Mass
Silver-gilt
Possibly Spanish Netherlands, around 1540
Marks illegible

The applied letter 'V' (vinum) on its lid suggests this cruet contained wine for the Mass. The decoration suggests it may have been adapted from a secular ewer. Much of the ornament, such as the dragon-shaped spout with a cherub head, the Roman heads and the handle with satyr and female mask, is typical of Renaissance decoration in northern Europe. At the time the Habsburg Emperor and King of Spain, Charles V, ruled over the Netherlands.
