indulge in luxurious banquets with exquisite table accessories to demonstrate their power and
extravagantly while away the hours. Well into the 18th century  it was not unusual for people
to bring their own cutlery—quite often peculiar  valuable one-of-a-kind pieces. In the Baroque
period  matching dinner services came into vogue and  in the wake of industrialization  became
mass-produced commodities. Trading with faraway countries  conquests  and migration augmented
people’s menus with “exotic” fruit and spices and contributed to a change in customs and
traditions.  In an exceptional exhibition on the mores of dining  the Jewelry Museum in
Pforzheim presents historical goldsmithing and contemporary design  jewelry “to eat ” and
treasures from across the globe. In addition  the accompanying publication will entice you with
