Tankard 8221Cann 1783 Paul Revere Jr. American Cann, a term used interchangeably with mug during the eighteenth century, refers to a pear- or tulip-shaped drinking vessel with scroll handle and circular foot. This exceptionally large pair was made for Elias Hasket Derby (1739-1799) and his wife Elizabeth, whose interlaced script monogram, EHED, is engraved on the front of each. Derby was a wealthy shipping merchant in Salem, Massachusetts. In April of 1783, Revere recorded in his ledger that he was making a pair of "quart canns for E. H. Darby, Esq." A set of silver beakers by Revere (58.3.1-.4), as well as several pieces of furniture and Chinese export porcelain in the Museum's collection, also belonged to Derby..

H. The subject seems deliberately enigmatic. Venus or a nymph lies open-eyed, but in a trancelike state, cradling Cupid in one arms and his bow in the other. Cupid is only momentarily hampered, however, for he appears ready to slip loose and strike a blow with an arrow drawn from his unguarded quiver. The artist of this erotic group shows knowledge of various stylistic trends. A point of departure may have been Giovanni Bolognas bronze of a sleeping nymph spied upon by a satyr (the best documented version was in Dresden by 1587; Keutner, H., in Giambologna.

His relatively brief residence in the colonies, between 1754 and 1769, circumscribes the dating of his American oeuvre. In 1769 he returned to Europe, where he died. This tankard, a classic mid-eighteenth-century New York example, is struck underneath with Fueter's maker's mark--DCF in an oval--and is engraved with scratch weight in troy ounces and pennyweights, a standard measure for precious metals..

The hull is ball -shaped and decorated with three stylized vegetative motifs, of which details end spiral -shaped and two are crowned by a French lily. The transition from hull to neck is enlivened by a rib. There is a protrusion on the front, which was perhaps connected to the original spout. The lip edge at the top is somewhat flat and outside and narrow. The pot is on three claw legs, which are more or less five sides in diameter. The handle, which connects the hull with the lip edge, is formed by a bird, the tail of which ends in a dragon head. A French lily connects to the hull then. A dragon's head can be recognized in the opposite spout. Handle on handle and spout are on the lip edge two protrusions, which have the shape of human heads. Two holes were installed in it to confirm the handle. This is made of wrought iron, which is twisted anPepperBox. Maker: William Cowell, Sr., American, 1682-1736Tankard (Kuz).

Metalwork-Silver-MiniatureCreamer ca. 1880 Tiffany & Co. During the second half of the nineteenth century, Tiffany & Co. rose to prominence as the leading American silversmithing firm and an influential international trendsetter and tastemaker. The 1870s and 1880s witnessed unprecedented innovation and creativity at the firm. Silver in the Japanese taste was among the most popular and celebrated work produced at Tiffanys during these years. Indeed, Tiffany & Co. won the Grand Prize for silverware at the 1878 Paris Exposition Universelle, with the judges citing the originality and virtuosity of the firms Japanesque silver. Edward C. Moore (1827-1891), the head of Tiffanys silver division, assembled a significant collection of Japanese objects to inspire his designers and craftsmen. The silver they produced did not copy Japanese models but, instead, incorporated Japanese aesthetic sensibilities and techniques into fresh and wholly innovative designs.
