The collection of Russian silver of the Hillwood Museum and Gardens Foundation, Washington D.C., is the largest and most comprehensive outside Russia and curator emeritus Anne Odom provides a cultural, political and historical context in which to view this fascinating collection. "Russian Silver in America" surveys Russian silver production, its changing forms, styles, imagery and techniques over more than 250 years. Drawing on the collections of both the Hillwood and other US museums, the book features colour plates of over 160 pieces: presentation gifts, commemorative and liturgical objects and pieces made for the court and growing merchant class, including drinking vessels, tea and coffee services, and chalices used by the former imperial family.
