Terrine c. 1728 - 1734

"Terrine" is a small, intricately detailed silver container created by Cornelis Swerder between 1728 and 1734. Its rounded, oval shape is adorned with delicate floral motifs on its lid, echoing the floral ornamentation of the lid's knob. Three delicate feet support the terrine, adding to its elegant silhouette. This diminutive piece demonstrates the craftsmanship of the Dutch silversmith and likely served as a decorative centerpiece or held small, precious items.
