介绍（中）	这只高而庄严的酒杯制作于1740年左右，曾属于波士顿林德街的西教堂，正如其雕刻的铭文所示，"属于/属于波士顿林德德街的教堂"。它的同卵伴侣现在在波士顿美术博物馆。对称、密集的卡通图案在这个日期有点过时，尽管与教堂盘子的保守性质一致西教堂银器的来源反映了会众命运的变化。最初的教堂是一座建于1737年的木框架结构，在独立战争之前的几年里被英国士兵用作营房。这座建筑在战争中严重受损，于1806年重建。到19世纪末，许多富裕家庭已经从波士顿曾经的专属西区搬到了新时尚的后湾。教会于1887年解散了会众；该建筑于1894年关闭；教堂的银器于1892年发行。这只酒杯被送给了多切斯特教堂，后来被卖给了收藏家兼大都会博物馆赞助人阿尔方索·T·克利尔沃特（1848-1933）。
介绍（英）	Made around 1740, this tall, stately wine cup once belonged to the West Church on Lynde Street in Boston, as indicated by its engraved inscription, "Belongs / To the Church / in Lynde Street, Boston." Its identical mate is now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The symmetrical, densely configured cartouche is slightly old-fashioned for this date, although consistent with the conservative nature of church plate. The provenance of the West Church’s silver reflects the changing fortunes of the congregation. The original church, a wood-frame structure built in 1737, was used as barracks by British soldiers in the years leading up to the Revolutionary War. Severely damaged during the War, the building was reconstructed in 1806. By the late nineteenth century, many affluent families had moved from Boston’s once-exclusive West End to the newly fashionable Back Bay. The Church disbanded its congregation in 1887; the building was closed in 1894; and the church silver was dispersed in 1892. This wine cup was given to the Dorchester Church, from which it was later sold to collector and Metropolitan Museum benefactor Alphonso T. Clearwater (1848–1933).
