Serving trays originated as types of platters called salvers, derived from a Latin word meaning “to save.” This is because having your food served on this type of tray indicated that the food had been tested for poison and was deemed fit for consumption.

The Arts and Crafts movement was a reaction to the Industrial Revolution and the negative effects it had on society:

Origins

The Arts and Crafts movement began in Britain in the mid-19th century. It was a reaction to the decline in the quality of mass-produced goods and the low status of decorative arts.

Themes

The movement promoted the value of craftsmanship, simplicity, functionality, and nature. It focused on using natural materials, like wood, and producing sturdy, useful items.

Influential figures

John Ruskin is considered the founder of the movement, while William Morris popularized it. Morris believed that good design could help balance the negative effects of industrialization.

Spread

The movement spread across Europe, America, the British Empire, and eventually to Japan.

Decline

The Arts and Crafts movement began to decline during World War I and was surpassed by Modernism in the 1930s.

Resurgence

The Arts and Crafts movement is experiencing a resurgence today, but with new technology incorporated.
