More information

The silver tureen

During the 18th century, the old practice of setting the dinner table with each course at once (service à la française) was replaced by the new practice where the dishes replaced each other, and new ones were presented (service à la russe). The types of serving vessels became more numerous and received a more precise use than before, and plates were replaced for each dish. The fixed points of the dinner setting were, among other things, candlesticks and, in homes belonging to royalty and the aristocracy, a central piece of splendor in the form of a silver tureen.
The Rococo tureen by Simson Ryberg was made in Stockholm in 1775 and was probably ordered for the wedding between Count Claes Erik Sparre of Söfdeborg (1746-1829) and Baroness Mariana Helena Ehrenkrona (1748-1820) which took place the same year at Idingstad in Östergötland.
