Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 3 7/8 × 8 1/8 × 8 1/8 in. (9.8 × 20.6 × 20.6 cm). Maker: Unidentified Dublin maker W. H.. Date: 1777.This dish ring is a refined example of an emblematic Irish form. Such rings were used on the dining table as a base for a larger bowl or plate that was laden with beautifully arranged food; as a seventeenth-century writer explained "to make the feast look full and noble." A series of rings of different heights made for a prosperous but not necessarily an aristocratic table, it does not have engraved eighteenth century armorials; the initials AR were likely engraved in the 19th century. Nonetheless, the piece beautifully represents Ireland's embrace of the Neoclassical architectural vocabulary and the austerity and simplicity with which it was expressed in silver.Ellenor M. Alcorn, 2014. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Goblets with Applied Decoration 11th-early 12th century These matcing goblets are each formed by a conical cup attached to a small, solid, and splayed stemmed foot by a circular flange applied around the base of the cup. They are made of yellowish colorless glass that contains many small bubbles. Both cups are decorated with an unbroken applied trail in the same yellowish color, which forms a horizontal line about two-thirds of the height and continues below to create a fanciful, abstract pattern of curly designs around the cup. The decoration can be read more clearly when the cup is filled with wine. The flange around the base of the cup, also in the same color, is formed by a single trail wound in a spiral to create a protruding disk.This unique matching pair of goblets probably belonged to a single set, since they share the same construction, profile, and decoration. The elegant and well-proportioned profile, probably derived from conical beakers in cut glass with a protruding disk OSTENSORIO DE PLATA LABRADA S XVI. Location: MUSEE D'ARTS DECORATIFS. MADRID.

Pair of sponge boxes 200131Two-handled Cup 1730-45 British. Two-handled Cup 1486Vase with cover (Vase en ivoire) (one of a pair) ca. 1786 French, Paris Ivory-turning had been a fashionable pastime at European courts during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and it was revived in France and elsewhere during the second half of the eighteenth century. Louis XV worked the lathe himself, and his daughters received instruction in this art form. His grandson the dauphin, the future Louis XVI, also took lessons, as did his brothers. A group of ivory vases was recorded at the Chteau de Versailles on the eve of the Revolution, possibly created by members of the royal family. It is more likely, however, that Michel Voisin (1729-1786), turning master to Louis XVI, or his son François was responsible for these precious, lacelike objects. A series of engraved designs by the younger Voisin, entitled Nouveau Cahier de vases, composés par Voisin Fils, includes a vase that is similar to but more elaborate than the Museums pair. The chief difference is that the body anVase (jasmin japonais) 1834 Sèvres Manufactory French Portraits of famous men were a popular decorative motif at Sèvres throughout much of the nineteenth century. This vase, originally one of a pair, is painted with a portrait of Raphael, the great artist of the Italian High Renaissance. Its mate, now lost, bore a portrait of his contemporary and fellow artist Michelangelo. Raphael's likeness is executed in a technique that imitates ancient cameos, a type of decoration that was perfected at the factory in the early nineteenth century. Portraits and various compositions executed in the imitation cameo technique were a common decorative scheme during the directorship of Alexandre Brongniart (1770-1847), whose great interest in mineralogy may have provided the impetus for this particular style of painting.The Sèvres factory archives indicate that this vase and its pair were purchased by the French king Louis-Philippe and were delivered to the chteau of Saint-Cloud "for the service of theUnknown, Mustard Pot, c. 1850, silver plated.Chocolate or Coffee Pot c 1837-1852 Philadelphia.

Mounts could be made right in the workshop, but also elsewhere on commission from a middleman. For instance, there were various silver merchants and jewellers in Augsburg who had objects made of costly materials on their own initiative. The silversmith who fashioned the mount of this goose was related to Martin Seutter, the Austrian purveyor to the royal court.Childs Cup. Maker: William B. Kerr and Company, American, 1855-1927Mug Attributed to William Bloor American ca. 1854-62 William Bloor was a significant figure in the development of porcelain in this country; he worked in numerous potteries in both East Liverpool, Ohio, and Trenton, New Jersey, two major centers of porcelain production during its burgeoning years in the third quarter of the nineteenth century. The mug depicts on one side the hero Lajos (Louis) Kossuth, who was widely admired by Americans for his efforts to liberate Hungary from Austrian rule during the 1848 revolution, appropriately paired with George Washington, Americas hero in liberating the colonies from British oppression. Kossuth made a much-publicized visit to the United States, arriving in the country in December 1851, and was received warmly by the American public. His visit garnered much press, and his portrait bust was featured on a wide range of decorative items, such as quilts, glass flasks, and ceramics, that were aimed at a middle-class clientele.

(28.58 x 14.29 x 14.29 cm), Silver (die-stamped), England, 19th century, Manufacturers introduced a number of cost-saving methods to make silver more affordable for middle class consumers in the 18th and 19th centuries. One such technique was the use of die-stamped patterns. The technique worked particularly well with candlesticks such as these. Dies imprinted fluting, swags, and other decorative elements onto thin sheets of silver. The sheets were shaped into hollow columns, and then filled with pitch or other material to add the strength and balance associated with solid sterling silver.'Chalice, 1664', 1953.
