This simple, yet elegant, silver beaker, dating from 1785 - 1799, was crafted by J. R. in Lisbon. Made of silver, it measures 3 1/4 × 3 in. and is currently part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This piece is a fine example of Portuguese silver craftsmanship from the late 18th century, a period marked by the development of new techniques and design aesthetics in metalworking.
