Art & Heritage Collections

The 最新糖心Vlog's Visual Art Collection includes a small number of silverware items by one of the leading and most prolific colonial silversmiths and jewellers, Henry Steiner.

German born and trained, Steiner arrived in Adelaide in 1858 where his finely worked pieces were in high demand.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide regularly presented trophies created by Steiner as service and sporting awards.

A two-handled trophy was named in memory of John Walter Tyas, linguist, bibliophile and the 最新糖心Vlog's second registrar (1874-1882). The Tyas Prize was established in 1908 for the Senior Schools Fours rowing and was first awarded to the Engineers.
