Silver, 229 g. He and his father Georg Bantzer (d. 1621) are known to have created several works in the Kremlin.

Decoration after 1744, perhaps by Nikita Belyakovsky Timofeev (see the beaker by him on the 10th anniversary of the death of Peter the Great in the Kremlin, MP-10544) for Count Andrei Ivanovich Ushakov (1672 Novgorod - 1747 St. Petersburg) after his portrait in the Tretyakov Gallery. Around his neck he wears a miniature with the portrait of Empress Elisabeth Petrovna (1709/1741-1762), who raised him to the hereditary rank of count in 1744. The order next to it is that of Saint Andrew the First-Called. Under Peter the Great, Ushakov supervised the shipbuilding. He was a member of the Admiralty, the Senate and was promoted to lieutenant general by Catherine I.

On a cup for the imperial coronation of Elizabeth Petrovna, see Kugel, Tresors des Tzars, Paris 1998, no. 87; on a goblet with her portrait for this occasion, Coleman Spark, Russian Decorative Arts , 2014, p. 12.

This could have been an imperial gift on the occasion of Ushakov's elevation to the rank of count, in which case an original snake-skin cup from the Silver Collection was reworked.
