拍品专文

On 17 October 1868, a hoard of some 70 pieces of Roman silver dating from the first century AD was found at Hildesheim, Germany. The discovery of these treasures and the nineteenth century taste for historical design inspired numerous silver manufacturers, including the luxury firm Christofle, which in 1870 reproduced the Hildesheim vase along with other notable pieces from the treasure. Another example of this vase by Christofle is in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay, Paris (see Christofle, 150 Ans d'orfèvrerie, 1991, pp. 60-61).
