專家說明

The Homeric pattern is more closely associated with American silver designs, particularly the innovative works of the New York firm George S. Shiebler. Shiebler is best known for his use of classical figures in profile. This style was quickly copied domestically and also internationally, reflecting the growing influence of American silver designers in the 1880s.

A tea service of this design, in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay, is illustrated in De l'Impressionnisme à l'Art Nouveau Acquisitions du Musée d'Orsay: 1990-1996, p. 109
