Beaker 1738 - 1750

Johann Jakob Bruglocher II's "Beaker" is a 18th-century silver drinking vessel, a fine example of the Rococo style. Created between 1738 and 1750, this small, finely crafted beaker is decorated with intricate engraved floral motifs and geometric patterns. The piece exhibits the hallmark of Rococo art: asymmetrical curves, delicate embellishments, and a sense of lightness and grace. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, this beaker stands as a testament to the artistic mastery of Bruglocher II.
