Born in 1730, Jacob Heinrich Henri Alberti was one of the most important Strasburg silvermiths. He worked with the famous Jean-Louis III Imlin.
An almost identical ecuelle from J.H.H Alberti, 1772 is in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg. The ecuelle from the museum was in the collections of Napoléon III, the Dukes of Hamilton, Mario Paulme, the Cabany family, Charles Drouilly and Léon Helft.
