Date: 1850-60.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 York's 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 America's midCan with spout in the form of a lion with coat of arms, anonymous, c. 1475 - c. 1525 The jug is composed of the following parts: the hull (with the foot), the lid (cast and turned), the spout (cast and recessed), the handle, the thumb rest, the lid button (cast). The round hull is on a high round base, which broadens at the bottom to a flat position ring. The hull (with the middle part used in the bottom) has a flat abdomen with the same cross -section as the stand ring and a high narrow conicly flared neck. The lid is BOL-flat and has a bird as a button. The edges of the neck and lid are thoroughly profiled inwards. The spout has the shape of a lion with a coat of arms. The tail of the animal forms the connection with the neck of the jug. The handle, which drains downwards and then slightly inside, has a one -a -a -a -sagging hinge, in which the thumb rest with the lid is attached. Rull and foot are decorated with clearly profiled shivering. Neurenberg (possibly) brass (alloy) castingTerracotta sessile kantharos (deep cylindrical drinking cup with two handles).

Maker: Fletcher and Gardiner, American, 1808-1836Teapot 1862-63 Wood and Hughes Presented to Christian Dorflinger upon his retirement from the Long Island Flint Glass Works in 1863, this service (2006.90.1-4) is ornamented with meticulously chased scenes of the glassworks itself. The teapot depicts a back courtyard of the factory, with a loading dock and packing barrels, while the cream pot (2006.90.2) features a vignette of a gaffer at his bench finishing a blown glass pitcher. The finials, cast in the form of glassblowers, also reference Dorflingers trade. Dorflinger was one of the most successful nineteenth-century American glassmakers, operating several factories in Brooklyn before his retirement. He later established a thriving glasshouse in White Mills, Pennsylvania. The Museum has two important glass items from Dorflinger's Brooklyn period: an 1859 presentation vase (1988.391.1) and an 1861 compote (1972.232.1) made for President and Mrs. Abraham Lincoln..

Metalwork-IronCream jug (part of a set) 1773 Johan Henrik Blom Finish The service (47.51.1-.5) is thought to have been given by Empress Catherine II to Count Pyotr Rumiantsev, governor of the Ukraine and leader of the victorious Russian forces in the war with Turkey (1768-74). Enamel portraits on the utensils depict the imperial line from Peter the Great to Catherine II to her son, later Paul I. Facing are: Catherine II on the coffeepot, the empress Elizabeth on the teapot, the empress Anna on the bowl, Peter III on the cream jug, and Catherine I on the sugar-box lid. The shape and decoration recall silver utensils made in northern Germany, especially Berlin. German silver was highly esteemed in Russia, where a large German artistic community had influenced the transmission of Western forms since the time of Peter the Great. The goldsmith, born in Vyborg at the Gulf of Finland, might also have spent time in northern Germany during his journey years.Wolfram Koeppe, 2003. Cream jug (part of a set) Teapot.

Metalwork-PewterSauceboat ca. 1765 Possibly by Paul Revere Jr. American American silver sauceboats, also called butter boats, first appeared around 1725-30 and were intended to hold the melted butter, gravy, or sauces served with meat and vegetable dishes. Sauceboats were usually made in pairs or occasionally in sets of four, to be placed at either side of the table for easy access. The earliest models, following French and English fashion, had two pouring lips and two handles, but by the 1740s single-lipped vessels became the norm. With their scalloped upper rims, freestanding double-scroll handles, bulbous knees, and pad feet, the Revere sauceboats epitomize Rococo styling. Each is inscribed on its underside with the initials "M" over "M R" for Ruth Coney and Mungo Mackay, who were married in 1763. Mungo Mackay was a Scots sea captain whom the silversmith paid in 1781 for "freight on some goods from France.". Sauceboat 7204Jug with cover 16th century Bohemian. Jug with cover.
