Creamer 5878Teapot ca. 1865 Gorham Manufacturing Company 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. Gorham Manufacturing Companys designer George Wilkinson patented a medallion flatware pattern in 1864, and the quantity and variety of surviving silver in this pattern attest to its success. Medallions from this flatware pattern ornament the tea set as well as a toast rack (.4) and goblet (.5) in the American Wings collection.

Metalwork-Silver-MiniatureIce cream cup (tasse à glace) (one of a pair) (part of a service) 1771-72 Sèvres Manufactory French The table services produced at Sèvres in the eighteenth century were highly prized and extremely expensive. They were not only purchased by the Crown and members of the aristocracy but also given by the king as diplomatic gifts to foreign courts and visiting dignitaries, and the esteem in which they were held did much to enhance the factorys prestige and fortunes. Because the number of pieces composing a service was very large, the cost was enormous, but this did not deter many courtiers from ordering a dinner or dessert service, or both.One of the most celebrated services produced at Sèvres was delivered to Louis-René-Édouard, prince de Rohan-Guémenée (1734-1803), on September 7, 1772. All of the pieces were decorated with the rich turquoise ground color known as bleu céleste and with birds encircled by an elaborate gilt wreath of oak leaves and acorns. Many of the components of the seEgg Cup 1830-70 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.. Egg Cup. American.

Gillinder and Sons (Manufacturer)Tankard 1700-1730 Benjamin Wynkoop The smooth, flat covers of early New York tankards were ideal venues for decorative engraving. Here, period ornament surrounds an interlaced monogram of the script initials JD” for the original owner, Jonas Douw (ca. 1655-1736). The tankard’s body is engraved with a cartouche of leafy mantling surrounding the coat of arms and crest used by the Douw family. The tankard’s provenance is remarkably complete, and its successive owners include some of Albany’s best-known colonial families. Jonas’s son Petrus Douw (1692-1775) married Anna van Rensselaer (1696-1756) in October 1717, thereby uniting the Douws with one of Albany’s most prosperous families. The initials of Petrus and Anna are engraved on the handle of the tankard.. Tankard 8245Coffee Pot, c. 1800. America, Philadelphia, 19th century.

Most East Asian kundika take the shape of long-necked bottles, although some examples have short, bulbous bodies like this one. However, its shape and diminutive size are also reminiscent of a water dropper..
