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 double-compartmented caddy is of rounded oblong form and has a foot and body similar to those of the teapot, cream jug, and sugar basin (1996.722, 1996.725, 1996.726).  The plain, flat cover is hinged across the middle and has a bud finial at the centre of each half.  The fixed handle is chased with foliage and imbricated disks and has an applied laurel wreath at the centre.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"","categories":[{"text":"Tea, coffee and chocolate wares","id":"THES48886"},{"text":"Containers","id":"THES48972"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2009CR4305","2009CR4212","2009CR4211","2009CR4228","2009CR4229","2009CR4231","2009CR4232"],"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":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"tea caddy","id":""}],[{"text":"key","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[],"productionDates":[],"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.813:1-2008","id":"O157906"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.813:2-2008","id":"O157906"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.814-2008","id":"O156637"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"LOAN:GILBERT.815-2008","id":"O156638"},"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":"22.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"with handle standing upright","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"20","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.
