A GILT-COPPER AND IVORY TANKARD, PROBABLY SOUTH GERMAN 18TH CENTURY the ivory sleeve carved with an interpretation of `The Element of Earth` after the original by Francesco Albani (1578-1660) depicting Cybele, Bacchus, Ceres and Flora on a chariot drawn by lions flanked by four scenes of putti employed in seasonal activities, with gilt copper interior, lid, foot rim and scroll handle, underside with BADA transfer 22cm high Apparently Albani executed the painting `The Element of Earth` for Cardinal Maurizio of Savoy; it was taken to Paris by Napoleon`s troops in 1796, but returned to Turin in 1814 and is now in the Galleria Sabauda, Turin. A number of print versions exist; for a version where the central scene shows the same composition of the chariot and posed mythical figures, surrounded by vignettes of putti in seasonal pursuits, see British Museum, No.1859.0806.458
A CONTINENTAL PARCEL-GILT SILVER TANKARD, MARKED WITH INITIALS OR FLEUR-DE-LIS AND INCUSE E, PROBABLY SWEDISH, CIRCA 1670 pomegranate thumbpiece and supports, base of handle monogrammed and dated 2.8.1671, the lid engraved with flowers and foliage around a Pieter van Abeele medal of 1654 17.cm high, 841gr (27oz) The medal shows on one side Mary Stuart, daughter of Charles I, wife of William II of Orange, and on the other their son William III at the age of four. William II had died in 1650 and the Dutch republic had been at war with the English. Oliver Cromwell, to end the war, signed a secret treaty with the province of Holland in 1654, to exclude the house of Orange, supporters of the Stuarts, from the office of Stadtholder. The house of Orange had much support in the States General and the medal was struck in encouragement of the Orange cause. The engraved date of 2nd August 1671 suggests the tankard may have been a gift, as was the custom, to a mother on the Christening of her child. To include a medal of such a famous mother and child in the gift would appear quite appropriate in this context.
