A PAIR OF DOCCIA PORCELAIN BEAKERS AND A PAIR OF SILVER MANCERINAS
THE PORCELAIN CIRCA 1745-50, THE DECORATION CIRCA 1750, THE SILVER MOUNTS WITH MAKER'S MARK OF DE LA RIBA, ASSAYER MASTER'S MARK OF BERNARDO MELCÓN, MADRID 1755
Painted in puce with rustic buildings in river landscapes within quatrefoil iron-red and puce-lined cartouches (slight surface scratching, one cracked across and restuck with small associated rim chip, the other with stained hairline crack running concentrically around lower-part issuing further short hairline cracks, small rim chip) (4)

Specialist note

The painting on these beakers can be attributed to Giuseppe Romei, who typically painted landscapes in this style, first in red and after 1750 in puce.
