The author traces the evolution of household silverware in the European tradition using a novel approach: a concentration on the practical function of each type of object. For this volume the author has assembled remarkable illustrations: reproductions of little-known paintings, drawings and engravings that depict items of silverware in their proper historical and functional setting.
