Honey Dish 1850-60 American With the development of new formulas and techniques, glass-pressing technology had improved markedly by the late 1840s. By this time, pressed tablewares were being produced in large matching sets and innumerable forms. During the mid-1850s, colorless glass and simple geometric patterns dominated. Catering to the demand for moderately-priced dining wares, the glass industry in the United States expanded widely, and numerous factories supplied less expensive pressed glassware to the growing market. At the Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations at New Yorks Crystal Palace in 1853, for example, the New England Glass Company exhibited 130 pieces of one design, "consisting of bowls, tumblers, champagnes, wines, and jelly glasses." This object belongs to one such service. Although the glass manufactory is not known, the glassware is very typical of the large services that were very popular with Americas middle class in the nineteenth century.. Honey Dish 4390

Bowl (Écuelle) with cover. Culture: French, Toulouse. Dimensions: Overall: 4 3/4 × 7 × 11 5/8 in., 37.492oz. (12.1 × 17.8 × 29.5 cm, 1063g);Wt: tureen only: 562g;Wt. cover only: 501g. Maker: Louis Landes (master ca. 1770, active 1789). Date: 1774.Covered bowls such as this were known in France as ecuelles, and were intended for the serving of hot broth or soup. Broth was commonly served in the morning in the bedroom during the toilette, the elaborate washing and dressing ritual. The bowl's cover kept the contents warm, and the broth could be sipped from the bowl by using the two handles, while bread rested on the stand.This basin and stand are decorated with the most common of all Rococo motifs, scrolls in the form of the letter C, and with abstract shell and vegetal forms. The handles are formed of looping bands entwined with laurel branches. The design of this ecuelle is masterful; little is known about the Toulouse silversmith Louis Landes, but the Rococo silver produced in Toul

He proceeded to have a half ton of silver delivered from the mine to Tiffany & Co., where two hundred men worked for almost two

Tureen, 1812. Paul Storr (British, 1771-1844). Silver; overall: 35.2 x 43.2 cm (13 7/8 x 17 in.). Silver fulfilled a prominent role in projecting wealth, status, power, and ritual in British life during the 1600s and 1700s. Elaborate forms such as this tureen, with its acanthus leaves and fluted detailing, not only represented wealth in its sheer silver weight but also provided royal and aristocratic owners a surface for displaying engraved coats of arms. The arms of the High Sheriff of Yorkshire, Timothy Hutton and his wife Elizabeth Chaytor of Spennithorne Hall in northern England are engraved on this tureen by Paul Storr, one of the most prominent London silversmiths of the period.

Coupe. Fashioned by a goldsmith, the mount of this cup immediately catches the eye. The pattern of flowers and birds was first chased in gold, and then filled with glass powder and fired. Given the different melting point of each colour of glass, the process must have been repeated at least seven times. The handle was subsequently set with gemstones.

The form mirrors the Neoclassical principles of German silver design towards a formal reduction of the shape and geometry.

Sauce Ladle ca. 1862 John R. Wendt The mid-nineteenth century witnessed an efflorescence of creativity in the American silver industry, fueled by the burgeoning middle classs increasing demand for refined luxury goods. Silversmiths devoted considerable time and creative energy to generating an endless variety of new designs and patterns. During the 1860s and 1870s silver flatware ornamented with portrait medallions inspired by antique coins and cameos enjoyed widespread popularity, with virtually every American silversmith producing their own proprietary "medallion" pattern. In 1862, the German-born silversmith John R. Wendt received the first patent for a medallion pattern, which is seen here in this elegant ladle. This pattern inspired innumerable variations and inaugurated a veritable mania for medallion flatware. Although this ladle is marked by the Philadelphia retailer J. E. Caldwell, most of the surviving examples of this pattern are marked by Ball, Black & Co. of New York, who

Glass Cooler 1809-1819 Paris. The cool, bright nature of silver is exploited to great effect in this bowl, or verriËre. Its decorative motif was also meant to create a chilly impression, showing swans, cattails, and playful dolphins above a band of aquatic plants. When this piece was made, guests at elegant dinner parties customarily consumed menus of many courses, each with its own carefully selected accompaniment from the wine cellar. In the days before modern refrigeration, serving chilled drinks was not as simple a task as it is today the glasses themselves first had to be cooled on a bed of ice and then filled with vintages that were cooling in their own ice-filled silver containers.This verriËre is part of a larger dinner service made for Pauline Bonaparte, sister of Napoleon, on the occasion of her marriage to the Roman nobleman Camillo Borghese, Sixth Prince of Sulmona.

Maker: for firm of Hancock and Co., London, England. Date: 1870.This large dish was the prize winner of the Stockbridge race, run every year, with a silver "cup" for the owner of the winning horse.

The name of the winning horse was Mortimer and the owner was a T. French. The length of the course was seven furlongs (1.75 miles).The scenes around the border and in the center of the plate recall the days of the early Norman kings William I, William II, and Henry I, whose seat was at Winchester, not far from Stockbridge. Scenes from their eventful lives are pictured in the six ovals on the border of the dish. The central scene shows the near fatal ambush of Henry I in Dives, a town on the
