One detail that jumps out at me is the fruit bowl. It's a Chinese
bowl, with calligraphy on the side. Of course, Chinoiserie was in
fashion, and much faux-Chinese porcelain was produced in Europe, but I
don't think much (if any) was produced with calligraphy on them. That
would have been one very costly fruit bowl.
Can anyone figure out what is in that thin flat wood box below the
pipes/sausage-stuffer? With the cover open and the paper liner, I'm
tempted to guess some sort of cheese, but the contents look a bit..
bubbly.
