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.\r\nOn long-term loan to Los Angeles County Museum from 2010.","physicalDescription":"The hot-water urn stands on a square base supported by four paw feet with palmettes above.  The short stem has a band of gadroons above and below.  The reeded and foliage handles spring from lion masks that are applied to the upper part of the body, and the reeded spout terminates in a lion mask and has an ivory spigot.  The domed cover is chased in a similar manner to that of the teapot and has a finial in the form of a crest.","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 and ivory","categories":[{"text":"Tea, coffee and chocolate wares","id":"THES48886"},{"text":"Containers","id":"THES48972"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2010EM4623","2010EJ5058","2010EJ5056","2010EJ5055","2010EA7527","2010EA7525","2010EA7524","2010EA7523","2010EA7443"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"BP","id":"THES49690"},"free":"","case":"CB19","shelf":"4","box":""},{"current":{"text":"BP","id":"THES49690"},"free":"","case":"CB19","shelf":"4","box":""},{"current":{"text":"BP","id":"THES49690"},"free":"","case":"CB19","shelf":"4","box":""},{"current":{"text":"BP","id":"THES49690"},"free":"","case":"CB19","shelf":"3","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"hot water urn","id":""}],[{"text":"liner","id":""}],[{"text":"liner cover","id":""}],[{"text":"cover","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"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.685:3-2008","id":"O157897"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.812:2-2008","id":"O157905"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.814-2008","id":"O156637"},"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":"41.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Weight","value":"6563","unit":"g","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"43.9","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Measured 03/01/24 IW ","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Provenance: Miss S.L.Somerville, sale, Sotheby's, October 19, 1961, lot 103.
