介绍（中）	口味和饮食习惯的变化反映在餐桌上盘子的数量和种类上。17世纪晚期，人们推出了所谓的法式服务，在每道菜中，都以对称的方式精心布置了大量不同形状的菜肴。因此，银从餐具柜上的装饰性展示转移到桌子上，在那里它的作用主要是功能性的。用餐者会从触手可及的盘子、盘子和碗中自助。桌边为每位客人准备了相同的盘子。这种用餐方式一直受到欢迎，直到19世纪中叶被所谓的"红褐色服务"所取代十八世纪中叶的餐盘上常见蛇形边框，这与洛可可对曲线的偏好一致。添加模制或加网格的边框进一步活跃了板块。如果餐盘上装饰着主人的盾徽（有时是后来加上的，或是刻在先前被抹去的纹章上），它们往往会刻在边缘，以避免刀叉反复刮擦而磨损。随着十八世纪的发展，瓷器和其他陶瓷餐具越来越受欢迎；然而，银质晚餐服务从未失去它的声誉韦耶豪瑟木材公司创始人之一凯瑟琳·D·温特沃斯（Catherine D.Wentworth，1865-1948）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18世纪法国白银最重要的美国收藏家之一，1948年去世后，她将自己重要的白银、金盒、法国家具和纺织品藏品的一部分遗赠给了大都会博物馆。这批藏品在国内白银中尤为丰富，其中大部分是省级的，包括一些罕见的早期作品。
介绍（英）	Changes in tastes and dining customs are reflected in the quantity and variety of plate made for the dinner table. The late seventeenth century saw the introduction of the so-called service à la française, in which a profusion of differently shaped dishes was carefully arranged in a symmetrical pattern during each course. Thus, silver moved from decorative displays on sideboards to the table, where its role was primarily functional. Diners would help themselves from the platters, dishes, and tureens that were within reach. Identical plates were set around the edge of the table for the individual guests. This dining practice was favored until it was replaced by the so-called service à la russe in the mid-nineteenth century. Serpentine borders are common on dinner plates from the middle decades of the eighteenth century, consistent with the Rococo penchant for curving lines. The addition of molded or gadrooned borders further enlivened the plates. If the dinner plates are embellished with the owner’s coat of arms (which are sometimes added later or engraved over earlier armorials that had been erased), they tend to be engraved on the rim to avoid abrasion by repeated scraping of knives and forks. As the eighteenth century progressed, porcelain and other ceramic dinner services became increasingly popular; however, the silver dinner service never lost its prestige. 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 a number of rare early pieces.
