介绍（中）	Verrières被用来将酒杯浸泡在冰水中冷却。倒置的玻璃脚放在疣边缘的缺口外面。在十八世纪下半叶，低矮的、椭圆形的、法国式的verrière很常见。这种形式是从1680年代出现在英国的最初的带缺口边缘的深圆形碗monteith演变而来的 Verrières通常是用瓷器和白银制成的，作为晚餐服务的一部分，在欧洲大陆比在英国更常见。我们在谢菲尔德的搭档特别罕见。其风格是1770年代和1780年代的新古典主义、希腊风格的银色作品，公羊头支撑着环柄。尽管镀银很坚固，而且制作得很好，但制造商并没有对其进行标记，这是谢菲尔德板制造商通常自愿遵循的做法，以模仿法律赋予金银匠的标记边缘刻有约翰·索布里奇和他的妻子安妮的手臂。索布里奇是伦敦市长（1775–76），曾四次担任伦敦市议会议员。因为盾牌上方是一个爱情结而不是徽章，所以这些疣很可能是为市长夫人制作的。
介绍（英）	Verrières were used to cool wineglasses by immersing them in ice water. The foot of the inverted glass rested outside the notches of the verrière's rim. The low, oval, French form of verrière was usual in the second half of the eighteenth century. This form evolved from the monteith, the original deep, round bowl with notched rim that appeared in England in the 1680s. Verrières were often made in porcelain and silver as part of dinner services and were more common on the Continent than in England. Our pair in Sheffield plate is particularly rare. The style is that of Neoclassical, Greek-taste silver works of the 1770s and 1780s, with rams' heads supporting the ring handles. Although the silver plating is substantial and the pieces are very well made, they were not marked by the manufacturer, a practice usually followed voluntarily by the makers of Sheffield plate in emulation of the marks legally imposed on gold- and silversmiths. The arms engraved on the rim are those of John Sawbridge, Lord Mayor (1775–76) and four-time member of Parliament for the City of London, and his wife, Anne. Because a love knot rather than a crest is placed above the shield, these verrières were probably made for the Lady Mayoress.
