介绍（中）	这种大小的盆，最初可能有一个附带的水壶，要么是梳妆台服务的一部分，要么是一个独立的部分。它本来会用于卧室的日常梳理，而不是在餐桌上冲洗双手或在餐具柜或分层自助餐上展示。在十七世纪末和十八世纪初，银色马桶套装演变成最时尚的豪华配饰之一，是主人社会地位的雄辩象征。这个盆地是由银匠让·福什于 1745-46 年在巴黎制造的。在1760-61年，J.P.J. Duguay通过增加剃须附件或mentonnière来调整其功能。附件将面盆变成了剃须盘，无需任何额外的紧固装置即可紧贴在面盆的边缘。这个宽阔的缺口边缘允许在绅士剃光时将盆放在绅士的脖子上惠好木材公司创始人之一凯瑟琳·温特沃斯（Catherine D. Wentworth，1865-1948 年）的女儿是一位在法国生活了三十年的艺术学生和画家。她成为美国最重要的十八世纪法国银收藏家之一，并于 1948 年去世后，将她收藏的大量银、金盒、法国家具和纺织品的一部分遗赠给了大都会博物馆。该系列在国内银器方面特别强大，其中大部分是省级的，其中包括一些罕见的早期作品。
介绍（英）	A basin of this size, which may originally have had an accompanying ewer, was either part of a dressing table service or an independent piece. It would have been used for the daily grooming in the bedroom rather than for the rinsing of hands at the dining table or for display on the sideboard or tiered buffet. During the later seventeenth century and early eighteenth century, the silver toilet set evolved into one of the most fashionable luxury accessories and was an eloquent symbol of the owner’s social status. This basin was made in Paris in 1745–46 by the silversmith Jean Fauche. In 1760–61, its function was adapted by J.P.J. Duguay by the addition of a shaving attachment or mentonnière. The attachment, which transformed the basin into a shaving dish, slides snugly onto the rim of the basin without any additional fastening device. This broad notched rim allowed the basin to be held against a gentleman’s neck while he was being shaved Daughter of one of the founders of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Catherine D. Wentworth (1865–1948) was an art student and painter who lived in France for thirty years. She became one of the most important American collectors of eighteenth-century French silver and on her death in 1948 bequeathed part of her significant collection of silver, gold boxes, French furniture and textiles to the Metropolitan Museum. The collection is particularly strong in domestic silver, much of it provincial, and includes a number of rare early pieces.
