Barrel marked with Spanish punzon along with four gilt flowers and a gilt cross. Barrel marked in three lines "Esquibel/Ano dei 1742/En Madrid", possibly referring to Diego Esquivel of Madrid; though as he died in 1732, it is possible the attribution is a copy, further reinforced by the punzon, which do not appear to be the type used by that maker. **Very good condition overall.
