Setting the Table : Ceramics, Dining, and Cultural Exchange in Andalucia and La Florida Hardback
by Kathryn L. Ness
Part of the Florida Museum of Natural History: Ripley P. Bullen Series series
Hardback
Description
Examining ceramics from eighteenth-century household sites in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, and St.
Augustine, Florida, Setting the Table opens up new interpretations of cultural exchange and identity in the early modern Spanish empire.
To analyze and compare tableware from these far-removed locations, Kathryn Ness proposes and employs a new vessel-based classification system to bridge the differences between existing systems.
Her findings show that on both sides of the Atlantic, similar major changes to dining practices and foodways developed at almost the same time.
Ness argues that early modern people were creating and expressing a distinct Spanish-American identity that retained some traditions from the home country while welcoming new ideas from an increasingly global network.
