The antique silver flatware of Tiffany & Co. is highly sought after but the collector is often frustrated by the lack of available information and pictures of patterns and pieces. This guide relates the history of the silver flatware made by others and retailed by Tiffany between 1845 and 1876, as well as that designed and made in-house between 1869 and 1905. The story is woven into the broader fabric of the history of flatware in general and gives insights into the complex rituals of eating practised by the upper strata of society in the 19th century. 479 colour & 15 b/w illustrations

A celebration culture and technology, as seen through the history of the humble yet ubiquitous toothpick, from the best-selling author of The Pencil. From ancient Rome, where emperor Nero made his entrance into a banquet hall with a silver toothpick in his mouth, to nineteenth-century Boston, where Charles Forster, the father of the American wooden toothpick industry, ensured toothpicks appeared in every restaurant, the toothpick has been an omnipresent, yet often overlooked part of our daily lives. Here, with an engineer's eye for detail and a poet's flair for language, Henry Petroski takes us on an incredible tour of this most interesting invention. Along the way, he peers inside today's surprisingly secretive toothpick-manufacturing industry, and explores a treasure trove of the toothpick's unintended uses and perils, from sandwiches to martinis and beyond.
