A HUNGARIAN GILT COPPER SOUVENIR WINE TASTER, HERRENGRUND, CIRCA 1745 oval with shaped lip, richly embossed and chased with grapes and other fruit and vegetables within feathery foliage, applied cast handles, the underside of lip pricked: 'Eisen . War . Ich . Küpfer . Bin . Ich . Silber . Trag . Ich . Golt . Bedeckt . Mich .' 18.2cm wide The inscription (which may be translated as 'Iron I was, copper I am, silver I carry, gold covers me) refers to the method of obtaining copper in the Herrengrund mines, in the mountains north of Budapest, in modern day Slovakia. The local water had a high concentration of copper sulphate. Iron scraps were placed in hollows where the water collected and reacted with the copper sulphate to precipitate copper out of solution. The copper either settled as a sludge or formed a crust over the surface of the iron. This gave rise to the legend that the water had mysterious, if not magical properties and the consequent production of such souvenir dishes, tumbler cups and tobacco boxes.Descriptions in both printed and on-line catalogue formats do not include condition reports and all lots are sold as viewed.
