Hans Kopenkaupt, um 1550 – 1623, zugeschrieben

RARE ACHATTAZZA Height: 13 cm. Diameter: 14 cm. Probably Stuttgart, early 17th century. Made in three parts: very flat and finely polished round base, with a baluster shaft supporting the bowl. The partial connections in the form of light blue enameled ring cuffs, probably silver, gilded. Stylized leaves raised in the upper ring. Brown-beige-olive-green agate, cloudy, with dark brown sections. The rarity and extremely high value at the time of origin explain the examples in collections of the high nobility, especially in Württemberg, such as Grand Duke Friedrich von Baden, or in Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen. Rest. Tazza bowl almost inconspicuously glued. Literature: Cf.
