The porcelain made at the Medici workshops in Florence was the first to be produced in Europe. Francesco I de’Medici (1541–1587) established a ceramic workshop in the 1560s with the intention of imitation Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. It took approximately ten years of experimentation before the workshop could manufacture the type of porcelain known as soft-paste. While so-called Medici porcelain lacks the ingredients that comprise hard-paste porcelain as made by the Chinese the Medici potters were able to craft a fine white ceramic body with cobalt decoration that represented an outstanding technical achievement for its time. Technically difficult and expensive to make, Medici porcelain was produced in very small quantities, and manufacture is believed to have ceased, or at least significantly diminished with the death of Francesco in 1587. Only fifty-nine pieces of Medici porcelain are known to have survive, of which one-tenth reside in the Museum's collection.

Artist: alexandre pere & fils

This instrument is profusely decorated with foliate designs in blue, green, pink and white enamel-like mastic with brass and tortoiseshell inlays. The twenty-four mother-of-pearl keys each operate two notes (one on push and a second on pull). The multifold bellows are lined with embossed silver foil bearing green flocking. In the 1830s, Paris became a major center of accordion production, which flourished until the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. To compete with makers in Austria and Germany, Paris manufacturers successfully marketed their instruments by applying rich and costly decoration. This instrument follows a model by Demian of 1831, and is one of two surviving instrument of this type to have a second button row for the accidentals, it is therefore known as a "Paris accordions perfectionnes" or a "perfected" accordion. Only two such instruments are known to exist.

Prent ook gebruikt in: Bleyswijck, Dirk Evertsz. Beschryvinge der stadt Delft, betreffende des selfs situatie, oorsprong en ouderdom, opkomst en voortgangh (…). Delft: Arnold Bon, 1667 (prenten vanaf 1680 ingebonden), p. 348.

Hoewel deze publicatie al in 1667 werd uitgegeven, zijn de bijhorende prenten pas in 1680, tegelijkertijd met het tweede deel ('Vervolg van de beschryvinge der stadt Delft'), verschenen. In het tweede deel zat een bijlage waarin beschreven staat welke prenten waar in het eerste en tweede deel ingebonden dienden te worden. Zodoende zijn de prenten uit het eerste deel dus pas in of na 1680 ingebonden. Hierdoor wordt vaak gedacht dat de prenten uit het eerste deel dateren uit 1667, hetgeen niet klopt. De prenten werden geleverd door drukker/uitgever Pieter Smith.
