Throughout history the attraction of owning silverware has been based both on its aesthetic qualities and on economic considerations: not only can silver be fashioned into an enormous variety of articles, but regardless of changes in taste and fashion silverware retains its intrinsic value as bullion. Articles made of silver may be treasured for their historical associations, as heirlooms, as the work of an eminent maker or designer, or in some cases simply as readily collectable articles that were formerly in everyday use. This dictionary is devoted to the silverware of Great Britain since around 1500 (including Ireland up to 1921) and North America from the Colonial era to the present. It is comprehensively illustrated and contains 2,373 entries, including definitions of types of article, specific named examples, styles, methods of fabrication and decoration, and biographical entries. Cross-references lead the reader to related topics, and bibliographical citations provide a guide for further reading on specific topics or important pieces.

Veilleuses (pronounced vay-euz) is a reference study of thirty years of research and travels by a leading collector of veilleuses. The word Veilleuses derives from the French veiller, 'to keep a night vigil.' It originally referred to any night lamp, but soon came to be applied to warmers for food or drink intended for bedside use. Although conceived for a utilitarian purpose, the decorative modeling and coloring soon established these pieces as attractive and prized ornaments. In this book Harold Newman has gathered together examples of all types of veilleuses, from those made of the finest decorated porcelain to others made of faience, creamware, and glazed pottery-even two of English silverware. The many different styles of design and decoration are fully described, including polychrome enameling, gilding, ornate openwork, low-relief applied figures, and lithophane plaques. This work discusses the manufacture and characteristics of veilleuses in England, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Russia, Bohemia, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, and the United States. It contains nearly 300 illustrations and each photograph is accompanied by a detailed account of the warmer, where and when it was made (if known), and its location of the time of publication.
