介绍（中）	到了大约1700年，随着习俗的改变，盐变得更容易获得，小的个体盐池在每个挖沟机或盘子上放置一个，取代了中世纪起源的大型常备盐。这些挖沟盐是已知的最早的美国例子之一。它们之所以与众不同，不仅是因为它们精致的设计和做工，还因为它们作为一对幸存下来。它们的形状是一种简单而优美的构图，平衡了井的凹半球和侧边的凸曲线。每个盐的正面都是一个含有de Peyster家族盾徽和盾徽的大花盘，上面刻有纽约早期巴洛克风格的茂盛刺叶。制造商Bartholomew Le Roux I于1685年离开荷兰（他可能在那里受训）前往伦敦，不久后搬到了纽约。他是纽约三代银匠中的第一位；一个咖啡壶（右；1997.498.1）和托盘也是博物馆今年收购的，是他的儿子查尔斯制作的。自1911年以来，这些盐从德佩斯特家族借来，现在很高兴地进入了永久收藏。
介绍（英）	By about 1700, as mores changed and salt became more easily obtainable, small individual saltcellars set one to each trencher, or plate, supplanted the large standing salt of medieval origin. These trencher salts are among the earliest American examples known. They are exceptional not only for their exquisite design and workmanship but also because they have survived as a pair. Their form is a simple and beautifully proportioned composition, which balances the concave hemisphere of the well with the convex curve of the sides. Embracing the front of each salt is a cartouche containing the de Peyster family coat of arms and crest and engraved with characteristically luxuriant, New York early-Baroque acanthus foliage. The maker, Bartholomew Le Roux I, left Holland (where he probably trained) for London in 1685 and not long thereafter moved to New York. He was the first of three generations of New York silversmiths; a coffeepot (right; 1997.498.1) and salver also acquired this year by the Museum were fashioned by his son Charles. On loan form the de Peyster family since 1911, the salts have now, happily, entered the permanent collection.
