Chocolate, Coffee, Tea
February 3, 2004–July 11, 2004
European Sculpture and Decorative Arts Special Exhibitions Gallery
The introduction of these three beverages into 17th-century Europe
resulted from the sustained contacts of the seagoing nations
and direct trade with formerly unreachable parts of the world,
such as Mexico, Arabia, and China. A great variety of new
utensils were developed to serve the new drinks,
first for great households and quickly thereafter for the popular market.
