This object has the following keywords:
  • Apples
  • bananas - Fruits of various species of genus Musa. The fruits are technically berries, growing in clusters of angular, finger-like fruits that contain highly nutritious pulp within the rind.
  • Cookies
  • grapes
  • pomegranates - Fruit of Punica granatum, a bush or small tree of Asia. The fruit is the size of a large orange, obscurely six-sided, with a smooth, leathery skin that ranges from brownish yellow to red; within, it is divided into several chambers containing many thin, transparent vesicles of reddish, juicy pulp, each surrounding an angular, elongated seed. The fruit is eaten fresh, and the juice is the source of grenadine syrup, used in flavorings and liqueurs. Throughout the East, the pomegranate has since earliest times occupied a position of importance alongside the grape and the fig.
  • porcelain - A material comprising white clay, or "kaolin," and a feldspathic rock, that react when fired so the clay serves to hold the shape of the object and the rock fuses into a natural glass. In China, it includes any such ware that is highly fired enough to produce a ringing sound when struck. In Europe, it is limited to hard-fired ceramic that is translucent.
  • serving dishes - Dishes used for presenting food, especially on a table for serving to people.
  • silver
  • still lifes - Images in which the focus is a depiction of inanimate objects, as distinguished from art in which such objects are subsidiary elements in a composition.The term is generally applied to depictions of fruit, flowers, meat or dead game, vessels, eating utensils, and other objects, including skulls, candles, and hourglasses, typically arranged on a table. Such images were known since the time of ancient Greece and Rome; however, the subject was exploited by some 16th-century Italian painters, and was highly developed in 17th-century Dutch painting, where the qualities of form, color, texture, and composition were valued, and the images were intended to relay allegorical messages. The subject is generally seen in oil paintings, though it can also be found in mosaics, watercolors, prints, collages, and photographs. The term originally included paintings in which the focus was on living animals at rest, although such depictions would now be called "animal paintings."
  • tea trays - Trays that accommodate tea services. Some examples may be components of a tea table, detachable from the base or legs.
  • teacups - Cups, usually accompanied by a saucer, intended primarily for drinking hot tea.
  • teapot
