Wine fountain and cooler

attributed to Alger Mensma, 1731

The wine fountain and the cooler, used to rinse one’s hands and wine glasses, formed the decorative centrepiece of a lavish buffet. These were presented to Cornelis Schrijver in gratitude for his heroic naval deeds, alluded to by the reliefs with trophies of arms, fish, shells and sea gods.
