介绍（中）	在十八世纪，芥末以干粉或与醋混合形成糊状或酱汁在餐桌上供应。干粉装在一个未刺穿的脚轮中，或装有可拆卸的套筒，以堵住孔。博物馆收藏的大部分芥末罐都是用来将调味品混合成酱汁的;它们采用小罐的形式，与带嘴的带盖牛奶罐几乎没有区别。一些带盖的锅有一个开口，可以容纳一个小勺子。银匠约瑟夫·奥皮内尔（Joseph Opinel，1715-1794 年）根据皮埃尔·日耳曼（Pierre Germain Germain Plate） 58 的设计设计，该书于 1748 年在巴黎出版（见 18.62.1）。凯瑟琳·温特沃斯（Catherine D. Wentworth，1865-1948 年）是惠好木材公司创始人之一的女儿，是一名艺术学生和画家，在法国生活了三十年。她成为美国最重要的十八世纪法国银收藏家之一，并于 1948 年去世后，将她收藏的大量银器、金盒、法国家具和纺织品的一部分遗赠给了大都会博物馆。该系列在国内银器方面特别强大，其中大部分是省级的，包括几件罕见的早期作品。
介绍（英）	During the eighteenth century, mustard was served at the table either as a dry powder or mixed with vinegar to form a paste or sauce. The dry powder was contained in a caster left un-pierced or fitted with a removable sleeve that blocked the holes. Most of the mustard pots in the Museum’s collection were made to serve the condiment mixed into a sauce; they take the form of a small jug barely distinguishable from a lidded milk jug with a spout. Some lidded pots have an opening to accommodate a small spoon. The silversmith Joseph Opinel (1715–1794) based the shape of this mustard pot on a design by Pierre Germain plate 58 from his book entitled Elements d’Orfeverie Divisés en deux Parties de Cinquante Feuilles which was published in Paris in 1748 (see 18.62.1). Daughter of one of the founders of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Catherine D. Wentworth (1865–1948) was an art student and painter who lived in France for thirty years. She became one of the most important American collectors of eighteenth-century French silver and on her death in 1948 bequeathed part of her significant collection of silver, gold boxes, French furniture, and textiles to the Metropolitan Museum. The collection is particularly strong in domestic silver, much of it provincial, and includes several rare early pieces.
