- Plate, circa 1790 - Pewter plates, like this one, could be found in middle income American homes in the late 18th and early 19th century. The tin alloy plate could be polished and brightened to simulate silver--something many in the middle class aspired to own. Proud owners would display the plates when they were not being used.

- Teakettle, circa 1800 - Cast iron pots, pans, kettles, skillets, and other utensils have been essential in American kitchens for centuries. Cooks used these utilitarian objects to prepare meals and heat water in hearths or -- by the mid-1800s -- atop coal or wood-burning stoves. Lighter and easier-to-clean materials began replacing heavy cast iron cookware beginning in the late 19th century, but cast iron still has a place in many cooks' kitchens.
