Flagon (one of a pair)
Richard Blackwell II
1646–47 · Gilded silver · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
These wine flagons bear the mark of a silversmith who supplied many prominent Royalist and high-church clients during the turbulent period of the Civil War. For the sensitively chased floral ornament here, he must have employed a Dutch or Netherlandish artist.
