A vessel made up of three pieces of rock crystal and three enamelled gold mounts. The body is formed by a boat-shaped piece with a figurehead on the prow consisting of a mask with pointed ears and ram’s horns. It is entirely decorated with painted enamel in warm tones with touches of blue. The rock crystal is decorated with some vegetable clusters on the foot and afterdeck, and garlands with fruit
A vessel formed by a large and voluminous body in the shape of a ship’s hull, a small unadorned foot and a stem with a knop, a spout at the prow, balusters, and a kind of forecastle, somewhat damaged. The handles on the side have the form of winged serpents with dragons’ heads, female breasts and bodies ending in console legs, and there is a larger one at the stern, simulating the rudder. Thirteen
An oval salver or tray made up of seven pieces of rock crystal, identical in structure to O104. There are variations in the decorative composition, the work of the same Milanese workshop, recognisable by the flowers on the ends of the central spiral patterns. On this piece, however, the clearly Baroque decoration has, to borrow Arbeteta’s phrase, burst its banks. Moreover, the gentle curve of the
A tall-footed cup whose bowl has the form of a ship’s hull with a pointed prow and a slightly raised stern, while below are a balustroid stem and a tortoise for a foot, all formed by three pieces of rock crystal joined by two enamelled gold mounts. The decoration of the bowl is extremely fine, and may have had a political significance. The mount on the foot was stolen in 1918. Where its authorship
A vessel made up of four pieces of rock crystal and three enamelled gold mounts. The bowl is a piece with a diminished arch profile, oval mouth, a decoration of concave double gadroons on the lower part, and eight large gadroons on the upper half that give the surface an undulating appearance. It has engraved vegetable and fruit motifs distributed in festoons with ribbons, which alternate with pat
Vessel with a hexalobate mouth, S-shaped handles in the form of branches, a round foot and a very low baluster stem. The handles are joined to the bowl by six mounts with a central band enamelled in black stripes. The knop has a gold mount with embedded black enamel stripes and drops of translucent green imitating emeralds. The mount on the foot has been missing since at least 1746. The decoration
Oval salver made up of seven pieces of rock crystal joined by a silver mount. The body consists of a moulded silver gilt oval piece with an oblong slot for the foot. The engraved decoration is at the ends, leaving the central areas almost unadorned. It consists of a series of spirals ending in seeds that mark the rhythms of the composition, and four flowers or rosettes at the ends of the pattern.
La jarra está compuesta por diferentes piezas labradas en cuarzo hialino y sigue el modelo prototípico acuñado por los talleres de Milán para vasos de uso y representación.

A vessel composed of five pieces of rock crystal and seven mounts. It has a deep egg-shaped bowl with a narrow base broadening at the shoulders, where a short neck emerges from a ring mount to open into a cruciform mouth. There are concave gadroons with mouldings on the upper and lower parts, while in the centre are two lines of intersecting vegetable spirals with seeds. Perched on the edges of th
A tall cup made up of four pieces of rock crystal and four silver gilt and enamelled gold mounts. The bowl, carved in six facets decorated with sprays framed within bands, rests upon a base with concave gadroons. The knop has six facets with engraved ovals, as does the stem, with rings whose size decreases towards the hexagonal gadrooned foot. Three ring mounts hold the bowl, knop and stem to the
Vessel made up of four pieces of rock crystal and five green and black enamelled gold mounts. At the base, the bowl has the form of a diminished arch. Four large gadroons form a cruciform and slightly oval mouth. By means of four mounts with a central band decorated with a motif of stripes and ovals, enamelled in black, two handles are supported at the height of the lip. They are in the form of fa
A vessel comprising three pieces of rock crystal. The body takes the form of an ancient urn of circular cross-section with two winged female busts, sculpted from the body itself, emerging by way of handles from a concave neck. It sits on a fluted base that, like the lid, has recently been identified. A complex scene occupying the central section of the body reflects a tableau typical of Milanese p
A vessel composed of two pieces of rock crystal and three enamelled gold mounts. The elongated bowl has a segmental arch profile with eight gadroons separated by concave gadroons and arrises. The base, joined by a ring mount, seems to be a single piece, and has a short stem with a knop and a flat oval foot. The decoration consists of gadroons on the lower part, and garlands, whorls and horns of ab
This vessel has an ovate bowl with six gadroons and a lobed mouth. The shaft is formed by a triple knop, the upper and lower ones covered by enamelled gold mounts and the central one carved out of the rock crystal, with imitations of inset precious stones. The two enamelled gold mounts follow the same pattern of green scrolls framed by black whorls tooled in the gold, with a drop of red enamel in
Este modelo de jarra pertenece a un tipo que, con variantes, está presente en casi todas las colecciones históricas, lo que lo convierte en el prototipo de la talla milanesa para vasos de uso y representación. Hace pareja con otra jarra semejante que también forma parte del Tesoro (O90). Ambas pertenecen a una familia de vasos con parecidas soluciones técnicas, obras atribuidas a los talleres mila
A glove tray formed by nine pieces of rock crystal and a framework of gilt brass. Rising around the sides of an elongated octagonal plaque are trapezoidal pieces of rock crystal assembled to form an octagonal mouth. The central piece has engraved decoration in a field marked out by lines running parallel to the edge. It consists of crossed patterns of foliate spirals and seeds, confronted in the n
Glove tray composed of nine rock crystal plaques, one in the centre in the form of an elongated octagon, and eight trapezoidal ones around it on a framework of gilt brass, forming an octagonal flange with a crest of pointed double volutes and peaks. The very sober decoration, designed to enhance the transparency of the crystal, consists of bezels that emphasise the angles. Along these are some ins
This piece has recovered its original appearance thanks to the recent identification of its foot and stem among odd fragments preserved at the Museo del Prado. It is therefore now shown whole for the first time since the 19th century. It consists of a shallow oval body with a diminished arch profile and ten lobes on the thick flange, on whose broadest part eight notches have been cut, possibly to
