Covered Sugar Bowl 1875 - 1890

"Covered Sugar Bowl" is a set of two pieces of American cut glass by George Duncan and Sons, a company active from 1874 to 1891. Both pieces feature a frosted finish and an etched floral design, as well as a stem carved with two faces. The sugar bowl has a domed lid with a decorative finial. The set is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The pieces, likely used for serving sugar and creamer, are examples of the fine craftsmanship and intricate designs common in American glassmaking during the 19th century.
