  • The goldsmith designed this innovative, even forward-looking, vessel to serve mulled wine, a popular spiced drink. The beverage was prepared by placing spices on the slightly funnel-shaped filter of the decanter and then pouring hot wine over them. The inscriptions on the medallions applied to either side of the flattened round body may refer to two weddings. One inscription, G. BETHLEN GERGELY/G. KENDEFFI RACHEL/1779, may mark the union of the decanter’s recipients; the other inscription, BÁNFI SUSANNA/KENDEFI GÁBOR/A O 1742, perhaps records the marriage of the bride’s parents. There is a discrepancy between the goldsmith’s presumed death in 1772 and the applied date of 1779. It is possible that the guild allowed the master’s widow to continue his workshop after his death as was often the case.LiteratureCatalogue of Fine European Silver.
