介绍（中）	这只巨大的母羊和盘子是在伦敦制造的，准备运往圣彼得堡。这是女皇凯瑟琳一世下的一个大订单的一部分，她雄心勃勃地试图将时尚的西式家具带到她的宫廷。母羊和菜肴会在宴会和宫廷晚宴的分层自助餐上展示 18世纪伦敦的银匠吸引了国际买家，其中一小部分似乎在里斯本和圣彼得堡等繁荣的中心有着良好的联系。这套比为英国客户制作的典型母羊和盘子要大得多，也要重得多，可能是塞缪尔·马加斯按照顾客的要求制作的。他用自己的拳头只在母羊身上打了标记，大概是为了节省关税，没有对这些碎片进行分析。双头鹰的应用武器是在俄罗斯增加的。
介绍（英）	This massive ewer and dish was made in London for shipment to St. Petersburg. It was part of a large order placed by Empress Catherine I, who ambitiously sought to bring fashionable western-style furnishings to her court. The ewer and dish would have been displayed on a tiered buffet for banquets and court dinners. London's silversmiths in the eighteenth century attracted international buyers, and a small subset of them seem to have had good connections in prosperous centers like Lisbon and St. Petersburg. This set is much larger and heavier than a typical ewer and dish made for an English client, and it may be that Samuel Margas was working to his patron's specifications. He marked only the ewer with his own punch, and, presumably to save the cost of duty, did not have the pieces assayed. The applied arms with the double-headed eagle were added in Russia.
