Description from the seller
Silver Vase "Pedro Muñoz"
Dimensions: 23cm x 23cm x 11cm
Silver: 925
Weight: 1.014 g
Silversmith: Pedro Muñoz.
Pedro Muñoz (Segovia, late 15th century - c. 1547) was a Segovian silversmith belonging to a dynasty of Segovian artists in this metal, among whom are his father Diego Muñoz I and his son Diego Muñoz II, among others.
He presumably trained in the family workshop with Diego Muñoz I, as he is considered his son. The earliest records place him in 1522, working for Segovia Cathedral on repairs, cleaning, and restorations, coinciding with the end of Antonio de Oquendo’s term as its official silversmith.
His work was mainly destined for the province of Segovia. Among the works he carried out are a cross and crismeras for Villafranca, and the crosses of Perorrubio, Martín Miguel, and Adrada de Pirón. Additionally, in 1542 he, together with his son Diego, made the cups for the old candle holders of Segovia Cathedral. It is believed he died around 1547, when his son began to receive payment for the works they had carried out together.
