Deftly blending the decorative arts and social history, this lavishly illustrated volume is the only book to survey the changing styles of fine dining and tableware from the 16th century to today. Introductory sections on dining ceremony and furnishings set the scene, after which the book follows the structure of a grand dinner, progressing from cocktails to dessert. 
Focusing on the many decorative objects that stylish eating and drinking have inspired through the ages, the book is an important visual resource of luxurious period table settings, accurately re-created down to the last detail in the specially taken photographs. Fine individual pieces of glass, silver, and porcelain from the V&amp;A's unparalleled collections offer a look at every manner of fine dining, from medieval banquets to fashionable 21st-century restaurants.

The Connoisseur

The national collection of English silver contains a hundred and fifty objects made between about 1480 and 1660. Here fully cataloged for the first time, they include the famous Howard Grace cup, associated with Thomas a Becket, a rare set of Elizabethan spice plates, mounted porcelain, and the largest group of English salts to survive. Court goldsmiths' work is represented by a pair of snuffers made for the Privy Council of Edward VI and by the astonishing dolphin basin, raised from a single sheet of metal, by Christian van Vianen, goldsmith to Charles I.Scientific analysis has enabled us to distinguish the genuine unaltered Tudor objects from those which have been 'improved' and those which are the product of nineteenth-century historicism.This book will appeal to all who are interested in Tudor and Stuart history and art, as well as to students of social and economic history.

Elegant Eating : Four Hundred Years of Dining in Style

Surveying the art of fine dining in Europe from the 16th century to the present, this book concentrates on the art of decorating the table, following the courses of a grand dinner from cocktails to dessert. From flowers and garlands to porcelain, silverware and centrepieces, the many different items created for eating and drinking in style are shown in a rich variety of settings. Introductory sections on dining ceremony and furnishing set the scene, which moves from grand palaces with sumptuous 18th- and 19th-century table settings, to the bare oak favoured by William Morris, or more intimate private dining rooms and stylish modern interiors. Unusual illustrations, ranging from Elizabethan spice dishes, Italian baroque ice sculpture and Georgian novelty tablewares to emphatically modern Scandinavian ceramics, are shown alongside a wealth of paintings, historical photographs and original designs revealing an astonishingly rich visual heritage. Expert curators and art historians draw on a range of sources such as diaries, novels and manuals of polite behaviour to evoke a vanishing world of arcane etiquette, elegance, luxury and taste. International in outlook, "Elegant Eating" combines a rich array of individual items used to dress the table - many from the collections at the V&A - and authentic historical settings to give them context. In addition, set piece table layouts in the historic manner have been specially created for this book, which should be an inspiration to anyone with an interest in style and interior design.
