(71.76 x 36.99 x 25.4 cm), Silver-gilt, England, 19th century, This presentation vase was made in 1822 for Henry Russell II (1783-1852), the British representative at the court of Hyderabad from 1811-1820, as a gift from the officers of the Russell Brigade, which he had founded and sponsored. Its shape is based upon the Roman imperial Buckingham Vase, which was unearthed in 1769 and engraved by Piranesi in 1778. The Buckingham Vase had an immense influence on the decorative arts of the Neoclassical period, as also evidenced by the four wine coolers, which take inspiration from its shape, in the nearby window case. Rundell, Bridge and Rundell, the foremost silversmiths of their age, collaborated with three of the most celebrated English sculptors of the period to create this masterpiece: Sir Francis Chantrey provided the overall concept, Thomas Stothard modelled the two military reliefs on the vase, and Ship (Nef) ca. 1609-20 Esias zur Linden.

Typical services were decorated with family coats of arms, designs copied from European prints, Chinese-style figures or floral motifs. The Saldanha service, however, is decorated with appropriate food stuffs: a large ham replaces the usual coat of arms, surrounded by fruits, fowl and vegetables.Clock & Pair of Regency Wine Coolers Antiques Champleve enamel & bronze Small vase in the shape of double gourd. unknown, craftsmanFaberge egg by anonymous artist, painting, Private Collection, H 18, 3Cachet of gold, Anonymous, c. 1700 - c. 1750 Cachet (Breloque) of gold.

Executed in the ìneo-grecî style, this suite of silver was commissioned by the United States government and presented to Viscount díItajub· of Brazil in gratitude for his role in arbitrating grievances between the United States and Great Britain after the American Civil War. It was the first of three identical suites made by Tiffany and Company, as indicated on each piece by the ìNo. 1î stamped on the underside. Figures and symbols decorating these objects represent ancient Greek themes. The handles on the punch bowl (1985.221.3) portray Dionysus, the god of wine, and the wine coolers depict facemasks of Silenus, a woodland god and Dionysusís constant companion. The full-figure, chased plaques on the wine coolers represent Agriculture and Commerce and were meant to symbolize the continued stability and prosperity of the United States after the Civil War..

Blanc-de-chine porcelain; gilt bronze mounts; each: 25.4 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in.). These vases were likely made by the celebrated Parisian ceramics firm of Edmé Samson (1810-91). To cater to the resurgence in taste for 18th-century designs, the Samson firm specialized in making reproductions of rare 18th-century European porcelains, especially those from firms that had already copied Chinese porcelains. In this case, these vases are designs taken from models produced by the St. Cloud factory in the 1750s after earlier Qing dynasty Chinese ceramics. However, the telltale sign that these vases are made by Samson and not St. Cloud is that the originals would have been made from a soft-paste porcelain (fired at a lower temperature), while these examples are made of hard-paste porcelain (fired at the highest temperature).Perfume Bottle.

(23.5 x 17.15 x 10.16 cm), Silver, India, 19th century, This highly embellished jug for claret, a French red wine, is a testament to an Anglo-Indian aesthetic. This style proved fashionable among British officers based on the subcontinent, Anglophile Indians, as well as markets abroad. The jugs central motif features a tree sprouting three elongated mangos, a shape known on the subcontinent as kunj. In Europe, this motif is better known as 'paisley,' after the Scottish city of Paisley, which, by the early 1800s, was an important center for manufacturing textiles inspired by or copied from patterns woven on the shawls produced in the Kashmir region..

Factory: Niderviller. Factory director: Period of Baron Jean-Louis de Beyerlé (French, 1754-70). Date: 1760-65.Niderviller, an area in the Lorraine region of France, came into prominence as a producer of enamel-decorated faience in the mid-eighteenth century when Baron Jean-Louis de Beyerlé purchased a factory there. Under Beyerlé and the chemist-painter François-Antoine Anstett, the factory produced an innovative range of models and colors in petit feu faience, or tin-glazed earthenware that was fired twice. Such forms were undoubtedly influenced by the factory's parallel forays into hard-paste porcelain production from 1760 to 1765. This potpourri with cover exemplifies the Rococo aesthetic that dominated the factory in the middle of the eighteenth century.

There is also an iron column that acts as a spine, disguised by four porcelain acanthus-leaf sleeves fitted one above the other, set off by gilded metal moldings. The gilding of the porcelain surface of the stand is daringly finished in different techniques that create delicate matt and brightly polished areas, producing the trompe l'oeil effect of a gilded cast-bronze support.1The fabrication of the Museum's spectacular table was made possible by new production and color technologies that were developed after 1832 at the Royal Porcelain Manufactory, Berlin, to attract royal patronage.2 The catalogue of the Academy ExhibitTeacup with a saucer.
