Blued bronze.

Measurements: 40 x 23 cm.
Cup made in bluing bronze whose aesthetic follows the models of the aesthetic Charles X, with volumetric base of square format from which a pedestal as a podium decorated in the center with a crown. On this podium rises the urn as a classic cup with large handles that starts from the lower part of the cup, adorned with chiseled details. Clean geometric volumes dominate, with sharp edges, avoiding secondary decorative elements such as stamped moldings, etc., but you can guess the path that the style will follow by the obvious taste for sculptural elements and relief and three-dimensional motifs of archaeological inspiration.
