Two Jugs, Christiaen van Vianen (possibly), John Cooqus (rejected attribution), c. 1660 - c. 1665
silver (metal), h c.28cm × w c.25cm More details
Christiaen lived in Utrecht during the British Civil War (1642-1660), but afterwards he returned to London where he worked together with John Cooqus, who married his daughter. Christiaen probably collaborated on the jug at the left. The one at the right, which is less well finished, is probably solely Cooqus’s work. Kwab ornament is still very prominent in these late pieces.
