Two-poor candlestick with a men's and a female figure, anonymous, c. 1850 - c. 1900 The candlestick is composed of the following eight parts, of which only the first two are removable: the foot, the trunk, the two figures, the two fat catchers and the two candle holders. The trunk screwed into the foot is fixed with a nut. The thread, which was mounted in the trunk with tin or lead, has released there. The round -profiled foot turns into a holon section, which narrows upwards and that is closed by a collar. The two diamond -shaped arms of the trunk are turned at the bottom of each other and caught there in a hexagonal base and a hexagonal capital. They end in hexagonal pedestals for the two standing figures. The woman carries a long -dressed, whose skirt with her right hand holds, but her feet are not clearly indicated. In her left hand she carries the clocked fat catcher and the candle holder. The decolleted V-neck and the hems of the overclock are trimmed with fur, without granulatio

Founded in 1793 by Thomas Minton at Stoke-on-Trent, the firm initially specialized in transferware pottery before expanding under the ownership of Thomass son Herbert Minton, beginning in 1836. Under the ownership of Colin Minton Campbell, who succeeded his uncle in 1858, the factory became recognized as a specialist producer of Aesthetics movement porcelain, which were inspired by a rich array of exotic and eclectic decorative motifs..

Neck of Poporo (Lime Container) 300 B.C.-A.D. 700 Early Quimbaya This metal object is the neck (cuello in Spanish) of a larger container, a poporo (or juror in the Guajiro languge, Kuetand-tuky in Páez, and yoburo in Arhuaco).1 For many centuries, people in the Andes have used poporos for holding lime powder, and this is an early example of one component of these objects. This neck likely would have been attached to poporo made of a gourd. To join the two parts, a person could have used pitch, a viscous and elastic substance that can be derived from different organic materials (Plazas 2016, 266). Other examples of necks may have been attached by threading cord through perforations in the metal and joining this cord to the poporo body in some way. The neck consists of three registers and is symmetric on its vertical axis and partially symmetric on its horizontal. The bottom register, however, is taller and its greatest width is noticeably greater than that of the top register. In this

'The Golden Salt-cellar of State is of pure gold, richly adorned with jewels, and grotesque figures in chased-work. Its form is castellated, and it has hence been called a "model of the White Tower", to which, however, it bears a very slight resemblance: the receptacles for the salt are formed by the removal of the tops of the turrets'.

Ascot Cup 1825-1826 London. The racecourse on Ascot Heath, in Berkshire, England, was established in 1711, and the Royal Meeting, a nearly weeklong series of horse races held there in the summer, remains one of the major events of the British social calendar. This trophy cup may be associated with the 1827 running of the prestigious Gold Cup race. It was made by Paul Storr, one of the premier English silversmiths of the day.The Ascot Cup was modeled after a very large marble vase from the 2nd century A.D. that was found in pieces in a swamp near Hadrianís Villa in Tivoli, northeast of Rome, in the 1770s. Because it soon entered the collection of George Greville, 2nd Earl of Warwick, it became known as the Warwick Vase. Many copies of the original vase were made in the following years in iron, bronze, porcelain, and silver, including a version by Paul Storr that is also in the Art Instituteís collection. For the Ascot Cup, Storr altered some of the wine-related imagery of the original,

Automaton clock in the form of a lion ca. 1620-35 Clockmaker: Karl Schmidt The rampant lion, an animal with strong heraldic connotations, must have been a successful model for several types of automata, to judge from the number of surviving examples. The eyes and mouth of this automaton are set in motion when the clock strikes the hour. The piece was in use long enough to have been fitted with a short pendulum sometime after its invention in the second half of the seventeenth century.. Automaton clock in the form of a lion.
