Charles Duron (1814-1872), goldsmith-jeweler of Paris, won his greatest
acclaim for the gold-mounted hardstone vessels he exhibited at the
International Exposition in Paris in 1867. Five of his six extant examples
from the 1867 fair are now in museum collections; the present cup is the
sixth known.
The Musée d’Orsay recently acquired Duron’s lapis lazuli bowl from the fair
(sold Christie’s, London, 24 June 2003, lot 160). The other extant pieces
are: an agate ewer at the British Museum, a lapis ewer at the Hermitage,
an agate bowl at the Carnegie Museum of Art (illustrated here, along
with the present example, in a catalogue from the 1867 fair), and an onyx
amphora at the Kunstgewerbemuseum, Berlin.
The present cup, the only rock crystal example in the group, shares with
the other examples a distinctive gold openwork foot, each enameled with
white and pink opaque foliage with translucent green detail. The black-
and-white ropetwist border appears on all six pieces and seems to be a
signature element of Duron.
For further discussion of Duron’s success at the Paris exhibition, see Olivier
Gabet, “Kunstkammer Objects in the Age of the World’s Fairs: Charles
Duron in 1867,” The Burlington Magazine, June 2007, pp. 393-399 and
Daniel Alcouffe, Les Gemmes de la Couronne, 2001, pp. 26-27.

Mounted hardstone vessels were an essential component of the princely
schatzkammer, showcasing the natural beauty of the highly-prized stones,
as well as the skill of the lapidary and goldsmith. A number of these
collections included carved spiral-futed jasper, agate or rock crystal cups,
which were set on faceted bases and embellished with silver, gold or gilt-
metal mounts (see: Hans R. Hahnloser and Susanne Brugger-Koch, Corpus
der Hartsteinschliffee des 12.-15 Jahrhunderts, 1985, no. 387-88 and 394-
99 ). Over the centuries, many of these 15th-century hardstone cups have
been remounted.
Four jasper vessels relate closely to the current example, and remain in
“princely” collections today. A 15th-century spiral-futed covered cup,
set on a seven-sided faceted foot with contemporaneous gothic mounts,
is the nearest in design to the present cup. Illustrated here, this cup is
in the collection of the Green Vaults, Dresden and published in Joachim
Menzhausen, The Green Vaults, 1970, no. 9, pp. 70-71.

In his comprehensive survey of steeple cups, published in 1959-60 in the
magazine Apollo, Norman Penzer recorded 148 examples of this distinctly
English form dating from 1599 to 1646. While the present example is
apparently unrecorded, its form and decoration closely resemble the
so-called Richard Chester covered cup (mark of Thomas Flynt, London,
1625). Now in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A:
M.244-1924), the Chester cup is illustrated in Olga Dmitrieva and Tessa
Murdoch, eds., Treasures of the Royal Courts: Tudors, Stuarts & the Russian
Tsars, 2013, p. 100, illus. 118. Another steeple cup of similar form, also
marked London, 1616 and with maker’s mark T.C. between pellets, sold
Sotheby’s, London, 12 November 1946, lot 166. Three additional examples
with the same maker’s mark are recorded in Jackson, 3rd ed., p. 107,
line 14. It seems likely that the mark on the present lot, TC in a cinquefoil
below, is a variation of the mark T.C. between pellets, a known maker of
steeple cups.
