Palangana

Real Fábrica de Platería Martínez

1800-1830

En un manuscrito conservado en la Real Biblioteca del Palacio Real de Madrid se menciona un enjuague con su copa (inv. 10012390). Este conjunto, destinado a la higiene bucal, forma parte del juego de tocador que el Ayuntamiento de Madrid regaló a la reina Isabel de Braganza, segunda esposa de Fernando VII, con motivo de su boda en 1816. Fue diseñado, como el resto de las piezas, por el entonces director de la Real Fábrica de Platería de Madrid, Celestino Espinosa. La superficie lisa solo presenta una sencilla guirnalda, ligeramente cincelada en el borde interior. La pieza carece de marcas.
