Davis. Published by the University Press of Virginia in 1976. An excellent, interesting and important survey for those interested in either English or American silver forms. “The collection at Williamsburg is designed to illustrate forms used in the city in Colonial times, and combines the exceedingly rare (a 17th century silver chandelier) with the completely typical, as well as the odd and unusual (silver cock spurs in their original case, with the trade card of their maker). Davis' text includes both a description and discussion of the individual objects, and also of the forms in general. Pieces are fully illustrated and described, with hallmarks and engraving details. The catalog is divided by use, with chapters on- "Lighting Equipment and Accessories; Vessels and Accessories for Alcoholic Beverages; Vessels and Accessories for Tea, coffee and chocolate; Articles and Accessories for Dining; Miscellaneous Domestic Objects; and Fused Silverplate. This thorough catalog thus includes a wide variety of objects that repay attention by the student of American silver1". Hardcover. 8.5"x11.5", 254 pages, hundreds of black & white illustrations, marks, dust jacket. Jacket somewhat rubbed, and worn around the edges (see photo). Book itself fine and clean.
