Note du spécialiste

Vegetable Tureen 4717 was completed on 3 December 1900, with a price of $220 and was the only vegetable tureen in an extensive dinner service comprising thirty pieces (4715-4744). The tureen was raised in 55 hours and chased for 105 hours by William Grey. Grey was also recorded as the chaser of the only soup tureen in the service (see Larry Pristo, Martele 950-1000 Gorham's Nouveau Art Silver, 2002, p. 219).
