Its functional form allows the lid to be removed and set upon its balled feet as a dish. The various initials engraved at different times on the underside of this dish suggest that the object was a family heirloom.\r\n\r\nOutside the wealthiest court circles, 17th-century silver was used primarily for eating and drinking. The dining table was the heart of social activity, and novelty items were made for fashionable new drinks flavoured with spices and drinking games.  The range of British silver for the home from this period (the first for which a representative quantity survives) demonstrates increasing foreign influences from France, the Netherlands and Portugal. The rising demand for fashionably decorated European silver from the 1660s onwards reflects Britain’s new wealth and political stability. \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":"Shallow, circular bowl resting on three ball feet, the body decorated with repouse and chased naturalistic flowers and supplied with two hinged scroll-handles. The raised cover is embossed in the centre with a scene of three putti around a fire, an allegorical representation of winter, and chased with flowers around the border.  The cover is surmounted by three ball feet, so when reversed it can be used as a dish.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Tamnau, Johann Daniel (I)","id":"A22503"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silver","id":"AAT11029"},{"text":"silver-gilt","id":"x37998"}],"techniques":[{"text":"raising","id":"AAT237068"},{"text":"casting","id":"AAT53104"},{"text":"repoussé","id":"AAT54023"},{"text":"chasing","id":"AAT54016"},{"text":"embossing","id":"AAT53826"},{"text":"engraving (incising)","id":"AAT53829"},{"text":"gilding","id":"AAT53789"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Partially gilded (parcel-gilt) silver raised, cast, repousse, chased, embossed, and engraved","categories":[{"text":"Food vessels & Tableware","id":"THES48952"},{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2009CC6690","2009CC6643","2009CC6642"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"72A","id":"THES413998"},"free":"","case":"CA010","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"72A","id":"THES413998"},"free":"","case":"CA010","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"bowl","id":""}],[{"text":"cover","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Konigsberg","id":"x35982"},"association":{"text":"marked","id":"x32454"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1697","earliest":"1697-01-01","latest":"1697-12-31"},"association":{"text":"marked","id":"x32454"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection on loan to the Victoria and Albert Museum, London","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"13.7","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"28.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"25.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Weight","value":"1460","unit":"g","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Scratch weight: Wigt 113 11\r\nMeasured 25/04/24 IW \r\n","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"maker's mark of Johann Daniel Tamnau I (Rosenberg 3, no 2870)","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"under base, on cover, on one handle"},{"content":"date letter for 1697","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"marked under the base and one handle"},{"content":"town mark for Königsberg (renamed Kaliningrad in 1946)","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"under the base, on the cover, and on one handle"},{"content":"G.C.H: Aõ: 1721\nC.D.K:RD\nJ.G.K:1796","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"These initials are engraved under the base of the bowl.
