HINGHAM AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY CHINA SERVICE FOR SIX
Circa 1867
Includes six each dinner plates, luncheon plates, salad plates, coffee cups and saucers.
Dinner plate diameters 10".
Provenance:
The Peter and Judi Hersey Collection of Hingham, Massachusetts History.
Notes:
The Hingham Agricultural and Horticultural Society was established November 10, 1858, with the goal of "encouraging and improving the Science and Practice of Agriculture and Horticulture [and] of promoting the amelioration of the various species of animals, grain, fruits, and vegetables", according to the Hingham Public Library. "They were also striving for the physical and social improvements of the town, a restoration of self-reliance, and a revitalization of domestic arts,
especially with the younger generations".
As the Society grew in importance and membership increased, it built an Agricultural Hall in 1867, which included exhibition space, a full kitchen and dining facilities for 600 guests. It became the social center of Hingham, and Albert Fearing, who had been instrumental in establishing the Society, generously donated a dinner service for 600.The absence of a condition report does not imply an object is free of defects.
