Book published in conjunction with the 1987 exhibition of the same name organized and exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas. "Since 1618, when two London citizens gave "faire plate" to a communion table in Jamestown, Virginia, presentation silver has been an important part of American culture. These precious objects are bequeathed to religious and educational institutions; given to honor heroic deeds, athletic prowess, and industrial and political achievements; and made to mark anniversaries and celebrate frienships. In form they range from the simplest beakers, cups, rings, and bowls to elaborate vases laden with jewels, symbolic figures, and portrait medallions. " PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED in 225 black-and-white and full-color photographic reproductions of the aforementioned pieces (some full-page) with accompanying descriptive captions. "Each object illustrated and discussed is a rich source of information on American values, assumptions, craftsmanship, and techology." 208 pages. NOTE: Due to the large size and weight of the book significant additional shipping cost will be requested/required for OUT-OF-U.S. shipment in accordance with country of destination. GO3.
