Illustrated LITERATUREJ. B. Waring, Masterpieces of Industrial Art and sculpture at the International Exhibition 1862, vol. 3, pl. 211.The Graeco-Pompeian service was created for the 1862 International Exhibition in London. Composing of thireteen pieces and designed by W. Albert Willms (d. 1899), who was awarded a medal of artistic merit for it (Elkington was specifically excluded from a medal award as members of the firm formed part of the jury). The Juries report specifically referred to the dessert service, noting 'the effect is very beautiful ' and 'in excellent taste'. Willms trained as a modeller and engraver at Klagman, Dieterle and Constant in Paris. Although mainly a sculptor, Klagmann also commanded high prices for his silver designs. It was to one of Klagmann's clients, the French emigre silversmiths Morel & Co, newly established in London, that Willms moved to at the onset of the 1848 Paris revolution. He worked along Morel in his preparations for the Great Exhibition in 1851. Following this he returned to Paris, collaborating with Christophle, Paillard and Froment-Meurice at the 1855 Exhibition. Elkington hired Willms to create a service for the Duke of Brabant and from 1857 he was head of their design studio.
