Phrenology head
description: Phrenology head. Hollow plaster, incised PHRENOLOGY on the front, with areas of the head delineated and numbered . A partially missing label on the back lists the numbered areas and psychological attributes. Phrenology is based on the belief that certain delineated areas of the brain are responsible for different functions, and that an individual’s personality and character can be ascertained by studying the corresponding bumps and indentations on the person’s skull. The theory was developed by German physician Franz Joseph Gallin in the 1790s, and further advanced by his assistant Johann Gaspar Spurzheim. Phrenology faced skepticism from the scientific community, but enjoyed immense popularity with the American public throughout the 19th century. Today, phrenology is regarded as a pseudoscience.

Porcelain bowl
description: Glazed white porcelain bowl with overglaze polychrome decoration. Rim painted black with polychrome flowers (including roses, tulips, daisies, pansies, etc.) and gilt stylized leaves. Double rimmed base with narrow gilt band around outer base. Family tradition believes that this bowl was owned by Joseph Bonaparte. (Matching dinnerware is 1983.06.01-19.)

Porcelain chocolate set
description: Old Paris porcelain chocolate set, white with gold drapery decoration, France, c. 1830, consisting of one 9" plate; five 2 3/4" straight-side cups; five 2 1/4" round-sided cups; four 4 3/4" saucers; three 5" saucers. According to family tradition, this set was a gift from Joseph Bonaparte, former King of Spain, elder brother of Napoleon I.
date: 1830 (circa)

Porcelain dinnerware
description: Several pieces of this white porcelain dinner service with overglaze of polychrome decoration have survived with a tradition that they were acquired at the "Point Breeze" sale. They are of the correct period and of a handsome and serviceable type that might have been regularly used in such a house. (Matching bowl is 1979.15.01.)
date: 1800 (circa) - 1811 (circa)

Porcelain fruit basket (one of a pair)
description: These elegant fruit baskets are examples of French porcelain imported into the United States in the first half of the nineteenth century. The baskets, decorated with bands of green glaze and gilt, have caryatid supports of bisque porcelain. These kneeling winged winged figures are attached to the base and baskets by bolts inserted through a hole in the body of the piece and secured with screws. This technological innovation in ceramics manufacture, based on the technique used by French silversmith Jean-Baptiste-Claude Odiot (1763-1850), permitted more efficient assembly and greater flexibility of design.
date: 1820 (circa) - 1840 (circa)
