介绍（中）	这款咖啡壶代表了十八世纪法国所有银器中最原始和最成功的设计之一。形成身体的螺旋通道营造出动态运动的感觉，壶嘴和手柄底座由咖啡叶和浆果组成，优雅地反映了壶的预期功能。长期以来，人们一直认为这个咖啡壶是弗朗索瓦-托马斯·日耳曼为葡萄牙国王何塞一世提供的大型银色晚餐服务的一部分而制作的六个咖啡壶之一。然而，博物馆的咖啡壶缺少现在在里斯本的咖啡壶上发现的雕刻葡萄牙皇家徽章，它的盖子装饰略有不同。因此，这个咖啡壶很可能是第一个采用这种设计制成的咖啡壶，并作为为葡萄牙宫廷制造的六个咖啡壶的模型。日耳曼是著名银匠托马斯·日耳曼的儿子，是十八世纪下半叶巴黎最时尚的银匠之一，他的大型作坊除了葡萄牙的作坊外，还为法国和俄罗斯的宫廷提供了重要的服务。
介绍（英）	This coffeepot represents one of the most original and successful designs found in all of eighteenth-century French silver. The spiraling channels that form the body create a sense of dynamic movement, and the spout and handle base are formed of coffee leaves and berries that elegantly reflect the intended function of the pot. It was long believed that this coffeepot was one of six made by François-Thomas Germain as part of a large silver dinner service for the Portuguese king, José I. However, the Museum's coffeepot lacks the engraved royal Portuguese coat of arms found on the coffeepots now in Lisbon, and its lid has slightly different decoration. Therefore, it is likely that this coffeepot was the first one made of this design and served as the model for the six made for the Portuguese court. Germain, son of the famous silversmith Thomas Germain, was one of the most fashionable silversmiths in Paris in the second half of the eighteenth century, and his large workshop supplied important services to the French and Russian courts, in addition to that of Portugal.
