Johannes Mattheus van Kempen's "Lidded goblet and Table Bell," created in 1851, is a fine example of 19th-century Dutch silverwork. The intricate details, including the ornate base, the woman figure on the lid, and the stylized floral motifs, showcase the craftsmanship of the period. The goblet, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, represents a revival of earlier styles in silverwork. The piece's elegance and intricate detail would have made it a desirable object for collectors and connoisseurs of the time.

When producing work for the World Fairs, Van Kempen called on leading designers capable of creating consistent designs in historical styles. An example is the goblet from 1851, modelled on the Renaissance. The style of the company’s customary products, such as the table bell, for which Van Kempen combined various sources of inspiration, was much less pronounced. Its angular shapes reference the Baroque, the engraved asymmetrical decoration the Rococo.
