An interesting exhibit entitled “From Sideboard to Pulpit Silver in Georgia” is currently at the Georgia Museum of Art in Athens, Georgia. http://georgiamuseum.org While at the museum gift shop I also came across a book entitled “A Catalogue of American Silver” published by the Cleveland Museum of Art”. I have only begun to read this book, but already I find it fascinating. The Cleveland Museum had in their collection several fakes and the book details how they made this determination. IP: Logged |

One of the most interesting aspects of this exhibit is the examination of what influence the customers, in this case a southerner, have in determining what silver objects were actually made. We may have turned the corner in the many repeated suggestions that no silver was made in the south to more interesting examination, at least for me, of why the customers ordered the silver in the first place. This exhibit has three dippers and they will have a fourth for their symposium. The Magnolia Grove Historic House Museum in Greensboro, Alabama has a coin silver dipper on display and I saw that another one recently with the mark of a firm from Macon, Georgia. I am really curious to see if northerners also became fond of this form of drinking vessel. If anyone has any examples of such I would love to see them. IP: Logged |
