Plate 6056Snuffbox with pastoral scenes 1750 Jean Ducrollay In eighteenth-century Europe, Paris led the production of high-quality luxury goods. Parisian goldsmiths made a wide range of small, personal articles such as snuffboxes; étuis to hold sealing wax, tweezers, or utensils for sewing; souvenirs, which contained thin ivory tablets for note taking; and shuttles for knotting lace. Gold snuffboxes and boxes decorated with portrait miniatures were prized and frequently given as royal gifts, often to ambassadors or members of the court in lieu of cash payments for their services. Coveted and admired, these boxes were produced from a variety of materials. The best were skillfully made of gold and embellished with diamonds, enameled decoration, lacquer, and other luxurious materials. By the middle of the century, the taking of snuff had become an entrenched social ritual, and the snuffbox, too, had become an important social prop. Snuffboxes were considered highly fashionable accessories, with som05/31/1906. The gift of the Mayors of Spain to the King.

Maker: Guild of Handicraft (British). Date: 1902-4.An influential designer of the Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain, Ashbee founded the Guild of Handicraft in 1888 as a cooperative of self-taught craftsmen who made furniture, metalwork, leatherwork, and jewelry. Ashbee was the predominant designer of the guild, developing an elegant style that broke significantly from Victorian traditions. It was notable for its rounded forms and elongated handles, frequently punctuated with semiprecious cabochons or disks of enamel. The work of the guild was exhibited throughout England as well as in Vienna, Munich, Düsseldorf, and Paris. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Fan 18th century French.

Although characterized as more provincial in style than porcelain, French faience was used at the court of Louis XIV as part of elaborate meals and displays, with large-scale vessels incorporated into the Baroque garden designs of Versailles. Earlier examples of French faience attest to the strong influence of maiolica artists from Italy. Later works demonstrate the ways in which cities such as Nevers, Rouen, Lyon, Moustiers, and Marseille developed innovative vessel shapes and decorative motifs prized among collectors throughout Europe. While faience can be created from a wide mixture of clays, it is foremost distinguished by the milky opaque white color achieved by the addition of tin Papal Crown with Key, Tiara, Historical, digital reproduction of an original from the 19th centuryBellows 16th century Italian.
