Metalwork-PewterWater pitcher 1850-70 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..

(36.2 × 30.96 × 19.53 cm), Negoro ware; wood, red and black lacquer, Japan, 16th century, This ewer used for hot water exemplifies the Japanese lacquer technique known as Negoro, whereby the artist covers a carved wooden core with black lacquer, allows it to dry, and then applies red lacquer. Over time and with use, the red lacquer on the surface is worn away to reveal the black lacquer beneath, an aspect of Negoro lacquer works that is beloved in Japan. Although modest forms often characterize the earliest Negoro lacquers, some later examples can be strikingly intricate. The design for this ewer, for example, includes multiple floral projections, repeated cord motifs, and a narrow, elegantly curved spout.Coffeepot.

For about a century, beginning around 1270, potters there created tableware both for local use and for sale in the capital and at other locales within about a forty-mile radius, including Kent, Cambridge, and Hertfordshire. This jugs thin walls reflect the skill of the ceramicist. The decorative accents—with raised ribs and incised lines—further suggest its use by a refined clientele.. Green Glazed Jug.

Date: early 1400s.From 1400 on, finely turned and decorated glazed earthenwares have been associated with Florence. It is unlikely, however, that the earlier of these wares were actually made within the city walls, but rather in outlying Tuscan towns such as Montelupo, situated in the Arno valley between Florence and Pisa. Unlike the earlier Italian earthenwares, the so-called Florentine vessels initiated the use of an all-over white to gray tin-enamel glaze slip, against which the painted decoration was highlighted. For the first several decades of the fifteenth century, the palette was generally limited to tones of pale green, manganese purple (used primarily as an outline color), and, less frequently, cobalt blue. This particular example bears a coat of arms that has tentatively been identified as that of the Guida family if Siena or the Della MarcPitcher British 19th centuryCoffee pot, from an eight-piece tea and coffee service, 1883, Gorham Manufacturing Company, Providence, Rhode Island, 1865-1967, 8 1/2 x 8 7/8 x 4 7/8in.

Maker: Paul Revere Jr. (American, Boston, Massachusetts 1734-1818 Boston, Massachusetts). Date: ca. 1782.This drum-shaped teapot represents a transition to the Neoclassical style. It is one of six surviving Boston examples of this type, all made in the Revere shop. The oval-shaped teapots (33.120.543) so characteristic of Revere's post-Revolutionary War production were made from rolled sheet silver seamed at the handle. The drum-shaped bodies, however, were hammered up from a single disk of silver. Neoclassical styling is evident in the straight reeded spout and handle sockets of this pot and in the cast pinecone finial. The monogram "S I B," engraved on the body in intertwined script, is that of Stephen and Isannah (Hichborn) Bruce, who were married at Kings Chapel in Boston in the autumn of 1776. Isannah was a cousin of Revere's. The teapot desTeapot, c. 1780, Wedgwood, Staffordshire, England, est. 1759, 6 x 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 in.
