This service is remarkable as it contains nine pieces; the muffin dishes and the tea caddy are unusual additions. The only other large service known from this period was also by Paul Storr and was made for Earl Howe, it numbered thirteen original pieces and three later additions. \r\n\r\nSir Arthur Gilbert and his wife Rosalinde formed one of the world's great decorative art collections, including silver, mosaics, enamelled portrait miniatures and gold boxes.  Arthur Gilbert donated his extraordinary collection to Britain in 1996.","physicalDescription":"The cream jug is circular and modelled in the form of an ancient Roman lamp.  The shallow body stands on a  gadrooned, spreading rim foot.  It is plain on the lower part and decorated above with a band of  palmettes on matted ground; it has a gadrooned shoulder and ovolo border.  It has a short spout. The handle is in the form of a silver serpent. Paul Storr, 1809-1811.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Storr, Paul","id":"A8891"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silver","id":"AAT11029"}],"techniques":[{"text":"chasing","id":"AAT54016"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silver","categories":[{"text":"Tea, coffee and chocolate wares","id":"THES48886"},{"text":"Containers","id":"THES48972"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2010EJ5080","2010EJ5093","2010EJ5081","2010EJ5079","2010EJ5078","2010EJ5077"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"005","id":"THES409943"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"jug","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1809-10","earliest":"1809-01-01","latest":"1810-12-31"},"association":{"text":"marked","id":"x32454"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.685:2-2008","id":"O157897"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.812:1-2008","id":"O157905"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.812:2-2008","id":"O157905"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.813:1-2008","id":"O157906"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.813:2-2008","id":"O157906"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.815-2008","id":"O156638"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.816:1-2008","id":"O157907"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.817:1-2008","id":"O157908"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.817:2-2008","id":"O157908"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.818:1-2008","id":"O157909"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.818:2-2008","id":"O157909"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.819-2008","id":"O156639"},"association":""}],"creditLine":"The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection on loan to the Victoria and Albert Museum, London","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"114","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"5/1/23","earliest":"2023-01-05","latest":"2023-01-05"},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Weight","value":"547.3","unit":"g","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"5/1/23","earliest":"2023-01-05","latest":"2023-01-05"},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"185","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"5/1/23","earliest":"2023-01-05","latest":"2023-01-05"},"part":"","note":"width measured across the widest dimension (handle to spout)"},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"131","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"5/1/23","earliest":"2023-01-05","latest":"2023-01-05"},"part":"","note":"depth measured across main body of jug (widest point of main body of the jug excluding handle and spout)"}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Provenance: Miss S.L.Somerville, sale, Sotheby's, October 19, 1961, lot 103.
