About
"The Campbell Collection of Soup Tureens at Winterthur is an assemblage of soup plates, bowls, ladles, and spoons as well as tureens. This important collection, comprising both metal and ceramic objects, came to Winterthur in 1996 - the generous gift of the Campbell Museum - and is on permanent display in the glass-walled Dorrance Gallery, overlooking the magnificent Winterthur Garden.". "Even a cursory glance at the 121 items selected for presentation in this illustrated volume reveals the breadth of the collection. The introductory essay touches on the historical context of the tureens, relating their creation to the history of dining practices from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries. Each entry includes up-to-date information on makers, fabrication methods, and provenance. In addition, the extensive appendix includes an essay describing the process of XRF analysis (energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence), which is used in the identification and quantification of elements in silver objects and thus aids in their dating."--BOOK JACKET.
