介绍（中）	这对镀金银烧杯可能是梳妆台套件的组成部分，但同样可能是主人旅行或狩猎时使用的一套餐具和其他餐具的一部分烧杯没有标记，但属于斯特拉斯堡金匠的专长，这种形式是在18世纪下半叶德国的影响下在那里发展起来的。这座城市以其无与伦比的镀金而闻名，这一点在这里可见一斑尽管很难确定这一时期的银烧杯中会摄入什么饮料，但它们可能含有水、烈酒、啤酒，甚至是热的五香葡萄酒这对烧杯是凯瑟琳·D·温特沃斯（1865-1948）于1948年遗赠给博物馆的银藏品的一部分。温特沃斯夫人是韦耶尔豪斯木材公司创始人之一的女儿。她是一名在法国生活了三十年的艺术学生，也是18世纪法国白银最重要的美国收藏家之一。她的部分重要藏品，包括鼻烟盒、法国家具和纺织品，都留给了大都会博物馆。收藏的国内白银特别多，其中大部分是省级的，还包括一些罕见的早期作品。
介绍（英）	This pair of silver-gilt beakers may have been components of a dressing table set but equally could have been part of a set of cutlery and other dining implements to be used when the owner was traveling or hunting. The beakers are unmarked but are of the type which was a speciality of Strasbourg goldsmiths, the form having been developed there under German influence in the second quarter of the eighteenth century. The city was particularly renowned for its unparalleled gilding as evident here. Although it remains difficult to establish exactly what beverages would be taken in silver beakers of this period, they may have held water, spirits, beer or even hot spiced wine. This pair of beakers was part of the collection of silver bequeathed to the museum in 1948 by Catherine D. Wentworth (1865-1948). Mrs. Wentworth was the daughter of one of the founders of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. She was an art student who lived in France for thirty years and one of the most important American collectors of eighteenth-century French silver. Part of her significant holdings, which included snuffboxes, French furniture and textiles as well, were left to the Metropolitan Museum. The collection is particularly strong in domestic silver, much of it provincial, and includes a number of rare early pieces.
