Catalogue Note
le poinçon de ville d'Augsburg sur cette timbale correspond au plus ancien des poinçons listés par Helmut Seling (Augsburger Goldschmiede, 2007, no. 0010). Il correspond à la période 1529-1547, ce qui ne convient pourtant pas tout à fait au maître orfèvre Hans Sturm (Seling no. 698), qui apparemment a insculpé son poinçon de maître en 1555.
The Augsburg town mark on this beaker is the earliest published by Helmut Seling (Augsburger Goldschmiede, 2007, no. 0010). The date sequence given, 1529-1547 does not quite tally with the maker Hans Sturm (Seling no. 698) who is recorded becoming a master in 1555.
