 The double-walled ice pitcher

 was the height of fashion and technology!

 Ice was a precious commodity that was not easily found or acquired. Serving an iced drink was a luxury coveted by hosts and hostesses of the 19thcentury.

    

We’ve created a special section devoted to

 double walled, ice pitchers.

This gallery focuses on a lovely pair of nesting birds that have been fashioned into flower holders. Unfortunately, the glass inserts have not withstood the test of time. A recent online auction revealed that the glass inserts are still in existence. We find that the video more accurately reproduces the photos in this gallery.

Digital technology gives us an opportunity 

to provide you with an intimate look 

at silver plate design. 

This technology is particularly advantageous when photographing works that boast 

repousse designs and craftsmanship.

We’ve devoted a special section to images of repousse work that we’ve rediscovered with our camera lens!

We hope you enjoy this gallery!

The American Silver Museum – an online museum experience!

Welcome to The American Silver Museum

  

Almost all of our photographs are portals to the gallery of the item depicted in the photo! The large photo above this text will take you to a double wall ice pitcher featured in a gallery dedicated to that particular genre of silver (double wall ice pitchers).


Most often, you’ll find that we take you to a slide show presentation that is presented in video (YouTube) format. The video is intended as a ‘best of’ gallery that we hope you’ll enjoy!


If you scroll down below the video, you’ll find a larger representation of photographs. To view the photographs individually, just click on the photograph that you like the most. You will then have an opportunity to enjoy the photograph by itself. 


In the upper left hand corner of the individual photos, you’ll see the number of the photograph, and the total number of photos in that gallery. So, if you’ve clicked on the fifth photograph in a gallery that has 38 photos, you’ll see ‘5/38'.


 In this format you can continue on, in a self-guided slide show of the featured item.

If you don’t want to ‘slideshow’ the entire photo album, just click the ‘x’ and you’ll be returned to the original format. Then, you can select another photograph to enjoy! Most often there’s a little link at the bottom of the gallery that reads: “Show more”. Click on that link to see more of the featured items.

Gods & Goddesses

  

  

Many pieces in The American Silver Museum boast images of gods, goddesses, mythical creatures, handsome men, and beautiful women.

The American Silver Museum Presents:

A gallery devoted to large sets!

  

A matching silver service was the epitome to good taste! Any respectable host or hostess would certainly covet as many matching pieces as were offered by the manufacturers. Seeing this demand, American silver manufacturers delivered a host of items to satisfy the needs of their clients!

Sugar bowls & sugar sets

 Sugar was a highly valued commodity in the 19thCentury. It was not uncommon for supplies of sugar to be stored in locked boxes. 

For the purposes of serving, covered sugar bowls, and UNCOVERED sugar bowls were often laid out for guests to enjoy. It is difficult to decide whether an uncovered sugar bowl was designed to be uncovered, or if the lid to the bowl has gone missing. Also, a full tea or coffee service would often boast a matching unlidded bowl to place ‘waste’ such as tea bags, lemon rind, etc… 


In the example of the Rockford sugar service photographed (left) we have a covered sugar bowl, a creamer, and a waste bowl (also called a ‘slop’ bowl).
