Beaker in tulip-shaped with appliques on a molded and gadrooned foot. The lower part of the body, on a mat background, delimited by a large molded ring, has a decor of lambrequins appliques decorated with interlacing and flowers, alternating lanceolate and ribbed appliques. The upper lip lined with a molding

This kind of beaker is a creation of goldsmiths under Louis XIV period and remains the goblet with the richest decoration. The sconces vary according to the period and the region: those with the decoration of interlacing and florets on a mat background is typical of the production of Angevin goldsmiths between 1715 and c. 1730, we find several beakers with this model of decoration by the silversmith Nicolas Bedane d'Angers (mo from 1713 to 1780) in 1716 and 1718 [1, n ° 188, 189 & 190], but also on an ewer made in 1729 by Louis Cordier, Parisian master, from the Jourdan-Barry collection [2, No. 137]. This decor in two different jurandes is the obvious sign of the interaction between the different workshops through the mechanism of companionship.
