Dimensions: 5 1/4 × 7 in. (13.3 × 17.8 cm). Maker: Marc-Etienne Janety (French, 1739-1820, master 1777). Date: 1786.Janety appears to have been the first European silversmith to work in platinum, newly available to silversmiths in the 1780s. It had recently been discovered that arsenic lowered the melting point of platinum, allowing it to be cast and then worked. The new medium also had the advantage of not tarnishing. This sugar bowl appears to be the only extant work in platinum by Janety. The crispness of the details, seen in the relief of the satyr and nymph and in the various decorative motifs, reflects his technical mastery of the medium.

When silver was to be employed for the serving of coffee, however, the Dutch preferred the coffee urn, which could have from one to three spouts. Many surviving Dutch silver coffee urns are ambitious in design and rich in execution, suggesting that they were intended for an affluent clientele. This example reflects the lingering popularity in the Netherlands of the Louis XIV style, seen here in the decorative motifs of acanthus leaves, tassels, and interlaced scrollwork..

Date: 17th century.This cup is extraordinary both for its design and fine casting. The octagonal shape has precedents dating back to the late 7th century when Sassanian silversmiths settled in the Tang dynasty capital of Chang'an and introduced this form into the Chinese repertoire. The twin dragon handles, a motif that can be traced back to the 13th century, remained a popular design in subsequent centuries in different materials, notably jade and rhinoceros horn. The powerful musculature and sinuous bodies of these leonine dragons enable the cup to be dated confidently to the 17th century. Likewise, the distinctive, intricately cast vignettes on the cup's eight facets also bespeak a late Ming date. Each panel presents a different legendary story. The style of these panels resembles carved laCoffee pot and lid, Enameled tôle, a) Cylindrical chamber fitted with coffee basket, standing vertically on pierced square base, which is fitted with sliding drawer for heating arrangement.

These refined candlesticks reflect the stylistic adaptations and the high standard of craftsmanship of the master gold- and silversmiths in Uppsala, a northern European university town. The objects' delicate ornamental vocabulary constitutes an elegant and refreshing version of what could be defined as a Swedish interpretation of the style of French designer Jean Berain. In I687 Swedish architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger (i654-1728) visited Versailles and was fired with a deep admiration for the elaborate trappings with which Louis XIV was enshrining himself as absolute monarch.
