Review # 1 was written on 2018-04-21 00:00:00 Chadwick Holsopple There's very little published on Australian silver that I've found, so the history presented here is useful even though most of the examples shown are one-of-a-kind presentation pieces that are not the sort of work one might expect to encounter in the markets.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-11-27 00:00:00 Angela Corrado I was compelled to read this short book after a very moving trip to the British Museum. I'd spent most of the day looking at Roman perfume bottles, and I was walking briskly through the main Roman gallery en route to Minoan Crete when the cup came into my vision. I recalled reading about it, and despite having been to the museum many times I'd never knowingly looked at it. I thought that on this occasion I ought to. So, wedged between East Asian tourists, I had my religious experience with the piece. The book does well to express my feelings about it. It's a very sensual piece, and open to a very satisfying amount of debate as to its meaning. I find it incredible how well crafted the cup is; the images are amazingly clear and modern looking compared to similar works from the period displayed in the book. The cup's modern history is intriguing too; the controversial figure of Edward Perry Warren deserves further reading I think. Anyway, the book does a good job of bringing together a selection of topics to do with the cup, including a detailed description of what is depicted and the physical condition of the cup. Really the price of the book is worth it just for the great photographs. Fascinating and beautiful.
