Silver & Glass

The Popes’ collection of silverware includes pieces from England, Ireland, Germany and France, and spans the 18th to early 20th centuries. Notable items are English teapots by John Lambe, 1784, and Hester Bateman, 1789; a 19th-century eight-piece French Odiot tea service; and a Tiffany toilet set in its original leather traveling case, 1888.

Glassware in the collection is English and American. Functional items include stemware, vases and pitchers, among them two Heisey pitchers. Decorative objects, such as colored Bohemian boxes, candlesticks and decanters, are exhibited throughout the museum’s period rooms.
