What you said ...Hi Helen, Thanks for your comment. What you said is to true. Most museums do not have decorative arts to display along with paintings. Yes most of the porcelain shown was imported from France and England when new by wealthy people of Baltimore. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment lostpastremembered, I use to see them every once and a while on ebay for sale but I have not looked at ebay in years. The English set with the Greek Key is to die for.andrew1860https://www.blogger.com/profile/09302166776668727094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2517604320453054140.post-5286099350997076272012-05-12T08:47:30.208-07:002012-05-12T08:47:30.208-07:00Thanks for the show of the museum... one of my fav...Thanks for the show of the museum... one of my favorite things, those ice cream servers... would love to have one but they are all in museums.

Too often what we get in a museum of art is:<br />painting<br />sculpture<br />architecture<br />and, perhaps, furniture.<br /><br />The silver is gorgeous... I must look up Samuel Kirk & Son.
