Longue Vue House and Gardens exhibit traces history of tea in artifacts

18.05.12

And those who love tea will love it all.

This small but choice display tells the history of Camellia sinensis through its specialized accoutrements. Tea is consumed on every continent, and the pieces used with it by various cultures reflect its vast history, ranging from its origin in China to its spread across the globe with the British Empire.

And Longue Vue's tea story is quite appropriate to its setting.

Right inside the door to the exhibit, a cozy table for two sits ready with a Georgian silver tea set with rosewood handles -- always cool to the touch -- and two creamware teacups. It symbolizes a tea house on the Hudson River in New York where Edgar Stern proposed to Edith Rosenwald. The name of the tea house was "Longue Vue," the name the Sterns eventually gave to their estate on the edge of New Orleans, his hometown.

"She was living in New York, and he met her when he was up there visiting," said assistant curator Lenora Costa.

"I'm most excited about the exhibit because it so relates to the history of Longue Vue and its founders, Mr. and Mrs. Stern. I think it's a fascinating connection and gives us a way to express that narrative in a contemporary way," said Executive Director Joe Baker.
