Hardanger Fiddle
Object type: hardanger fiddle
Date: 1786 – 1786
Materials: bone, wood, mother of pearl
Culture: norwegian
Location: norway

The hardanger fiddle (hardingfele) is the folk fiddle of Norway originally used in the farming and fishing communities of the Hardangerfjord in the western part of the country. Traditionally, the instrument was used to play songs, dances, and wedding music. It has also been embraced by nationalistic composers such as Edvard Grieg, who incorporated folk tunes played on the hardingfele into his works. Hardanger fiddles generally have four bowed strings and an additional four sympathetic strings beneath the bridge; the latter are not played directly but are excited into vibration by the bowed strings above, adding a subtle richness to the sound. These often ornately inlaid instruments first appeared in the 1650s, and their short, straight necks and fingerboards recall those of the violin during the Baroque period. The prolific eighteenth-century fiddle makers Isak Nielsen (Skaar) Botnen and his son, Trond Isaksen Flatebø, popularized the instrument and are responsible for the tradition that continues today. Description: scroll is a carved fanciful animal head with gilded crest; fingerboard and tailpiece are of bone with decorative ebony and mother-of-pearl inlays; both top and back have elaborate inked decorations; four playing strings and four sympathetic strings.

The Toilette of Venus
Object type: mantel clock
Date: 1776 – 1800
Materials: brass, bronze, enamel, marble, steel
Techniques: gilding
Artist: etienne-maurice falconet
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1716 – 1791
Subjects: women,cupid,venus

By the middle of the eighteenth century, French clockcases were often related to sculpture and to the smaller decorative arts of the period. This clock, with a sculptural group titled the Toilette of Venus, depicts the goddess seated at a circular table and attended by a handmaiden, who can probably be identified as Flora. Cupid reclines at the foot of the table and points to the time, which appears on the revolving chapter rings that are set within the side of the table. The model for this small sculptural group has long been attributed to Étienne-Maurice Falconet (1716–1791) on the basis of the resemblance of the attending figure to Falconet’s marble Bather of 1757. The Bather was modeled in miniature and produced in biscuit porcelain by the Sévres Manufactory, where a number of other porcelains were made from models supplied by Falconet. Falconet also made models of playful infants as ornaments for silver services by François-Thomas Germain (1726–1791) and for at least one clock depicting the Three Graces, but there is no direct evidence that he modeled the figures on this clock. The revolving dials for hours and minutes are driven by a long arbor that is connected to the hour- and half-hour-striking movement in the marble base of the clock. Clocks with revolving dials of this sort were a specialty of the Parisian workshop of the Lepaute family, and one of the most spectacular examples is exhibited in the Museum’s West Gould Gallery.

Pitcher
Object type: pitcher

Artist: chelsea keramic art works
Artist role: manufacturer
Artist nationality: american
Artist dates: 1872 – 1889

The Chelsea Keramic Art Works was the first American ceramics firm to designate itself an "art pottery." It was founded in Chelsea, Massachusetts, by members of the Robertson family, all of whom had honed their skills in the ceramics industry in Britain before coming to this country. An early specialty of the firm was the reproduction of Ancient Greek pottery made fashionable by such English tastemakers as Charles Locke Eastlake. Especially well-received I the United Sates were the Greek style wares exhibited at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia by the Copenhagen firm of P. Ipsens Enke. Chelsea's rich red clay was particularly well suited to Greek designs. This finely potted redware pitcher copies a well-known metal pitcher that had been excavated at Pompeii and was frequently reproduced at the time for the tourist trade. Chelsea interpreted the form in red bisque (2018.294.23) and glazed versions, such as this example. It copies the Roman model not only the basic vessel shape but also, more specifically, the forepart of a fully modeled hippocampus at the top of the handle and a mask at the lower terminal. Thispitcher is from the Robert A. Ellison Jr. Collection of American art pottery donated to the Metropolitan Museum in 2017 and 2018. The works in the collection date from the mid-1870s through the 1950s. Together they comprise one of the most comprehensive and important assemblages of this material known.
