Production | Dated 1604 but probably fake, 19th century. O.D. - dull surface might be to deliberately create 'antique' impression, so probably fake. Anna-Elizabeth Theuerkauff (née Liederwald), Dec. 1989 - thought beaker and cover might not belong to each other, but both fakes in historicist style. |
