Scottish silver and gold design remained independent of London styles and fashions until the mid-eighteenth century. The completely spherical "bullet" teapot, along with matching milk jug (see 1983.224) and sugar bowl, was an especially Scottish, particularly Edinburgh preference. These three objects, made by three Edinburgh goldsmiths within a few years of each other, exemplify the broad demand for this shape. Characteristic also is the restrained narrow band of engraved ornament on all three pieces.. Teapot. Scottish, Edinburgh. 1733-34. Silver, wood.

Documenting a continuous process of influence and adaptation, these pieces provide a discriminating review of the nuances of stylistic change resulting from three centuries of trade.. Milk jug with cover 208409Jug 17th century Spanish, Catalonia The technique of glassblowing was practically forgotten after the retreat of the Romans, who had introduced it, but was resumed in the caliphate of Córdoba in Andalusia. Andalusian glass is characterized by a folksy quality and is always tinted tans to the presence of metal oxides, such as copper and iron, in the raw material. The abundant relief ornament takes the form of coxcomb crests, shells, berrylike prunts, pinched, denticulated bands, and ring handles.In the mid-sixteenth century, Venetian glassmakers brought the secrets of the refined Murano technique to Catalonia, where they founded several factories. Their most significant innovations were the production of a clear typed of glass and the use of manganese to aid in the discharge of impurities, but they introduced other Murano techniques as well, which account for the Venetian air displayed by many traditional Catalan vessels, with their delicate white striping, ribs, and gold prunts..

Ceramics-PotteryMug ca. 1695 David Elers British The Elers brothers, John Philip and older brother David, were Dutch born silversmiths who came to London in the 1680s. They produced pottery at Bradwell Wood, in Staffordshire, for a brief period between ca. 1690 and 1698, creating high quality unglazed red stoneware. The Elers brothers were pioneers in the rise of the salt-glazed stoneware industry in Staffordshire. The mug demonstrates the high quality and elegant design characteristic of the Elers stoneware production. The fine color is indicative of the native clay deposits in Staffordshire, the reason the Elers and many others established pottery works in the region. The unglazed red stoneware is inspired in part by Chinese Yixing wares, imported by the Dutch East India Company and widely imitated by Dutch and English potters.[Elizabeth Sullivan, 2014. Mug.
