Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Newman has provided a valuable addition to the literature on silver treasures and collectibles. Abundantly illustrated with fine examples relating to the detailed text, this dictionary combines historical information about various terms, techniques, and major designers/makers with descriptive entries of common and unique silver objects used for domestic, religious, and commemorative purposes. Citations cover British and North American objects from 1500 to the present and include bibliographic sources for selected entries when appropriate. Recommended for most libraries, especially those emphasizing the decorative arts. Stephen Allan Patrick, East Tennessee State Univ. Lib., Johnson City

Dictionary of Silverware,
By
This review is from: An Illustrated Dictionary of Silverware (Paperback)
This is an outstanding dictionary, from Thames & Hudson that would increase the value to anyone's collection of reference books on silverware . The definitions are thorough, it has good images and great cross referencing. I would recommend this book to anyone who is serious about having a highly specialized dictionary in this field.
