介绍（中）	19世纪中期，新兴的中产阶级对精致奢侈品的需求不断增加，推动了美国白银行业创造力的蓬勃发展。银匠们投入了大量的时间和创造性的精力来创造各种各样的新设计和图案。在19世纪60年代和19世纪70年代，以古董硬币和浮雕为灵感，装饰有肖像徽章的银制餐具广受欢迎，几乎每个美国银匠都生产自己专有的"徽章"图案。尽管没有标记，但该模式的其他示例证明它是由Kidney&；Johnson，其前身公司Kidney，Cann&；约翰逊或其继任者S·H·约翰逊，约1863年至19世纪70年代活跃于纽约市的银匠。在19世纪之前，冰淇淋是一种奢侈品，只有社会最精英阶层才能买到；然而，随着隔热冰屋的发明和蒸汽动力的进步，美国冰淇淋行业诞生了。在19世纪下半叶，越来越多的美国人能够享用冰淇淋，他们试图通过指定专门的餐具来庆祝食用冷冻食品的特权和快乐，比如这套餐具。
介绍（英）	The mid-nineteenth century witnessed an efflorescence of creativity in the American silver industry, fueled by the burgeoning middle class’s increasing demand for refined luxury goods. Silversmiths devoted considerable time and creative energy to generating an endless variety of new designs and patterns. During the 1860s and 1870s silver flatware ornamented with portrait medallions inspired by antique coins and cameos enjoyed widespread popularity, with virtually every American silversmith producing their own proprietary "medallion" pattern. Although unmarked, other examples of this pattern document that it was created by either Kidney & Johnson, its predecessor firm Kidney, Cann & Johnson, or its successor S. H. Johnson, silversmiths active in New York City from about 1863 into the 1870s. Prior to the nineteenth century, ice cream had been a luxury available only to the most elite echelons of society; however, with the invention of insulated ice houses and advances in steam power, an American ice cream industry was born. During the second half of the nineteenth century, increasing numbers of Americans were able to enjoy ice cream, and they sought to celebrate the privilege and joy of consuming the frozen treat by designating specialized flatware, such as this set, for the purpose.
