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.

In comparison to soft-paste porcelain, the hard-paste ceramic body was superior: it was whiter, more durable, and usually could be potted or molded more thinly. There is an irony, however, in the fact that this whiter porcelainthe goal of all soft-paste porcelain factorieswas often completely obscured by ground colors that covered the entire visible surface. Strong colors and painted surfaces that simulated other materials were very much in fashion in the late eighteenth century.This hard-paste porcelain plate is decorated in a style that imitates Asian black lacquer. The painting is executed in two tones of gold with platinum highlights on a black ground. The abbreviated landscapes in the center and along the border reflect a type of decoration known as chinoiserie.

Maker: Union Porcelain Works (1863-ca. 1922). Date: 1885.Union Porcelain Works was one of the most important and inventive American porcelain manufacturers in the second-half of the nineteenth century. In addition to their imaginative works designed by the German-born artistic director, Karl H. L. Müller, the firm's mainstay was the production of heavy porcelain hotel dinnerware. This extensive service was made by Thomas Carll Smith, head of the Union Porcelain Works, as a gift to his daughter, Pastora Forest Smith Chace. The neoclassical decoration of the gilt bellflower and basket motif is complimented by turquoise enamel. Unlike the firm's more eccentric and lavish designs created for their display at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876, the pottery favored a more restrained classical style for their dinner services. This service descended in the Chace family. Museum: MetropolitaTeacup and saucer, with primula decoration.
