Sauce tureen c. 1822

This silver sauce tureen, crafted around 1822 by Joseph Craddock, showcases the elegance of Neoclassical design. Its rounded form, delicate shell-like accents, and ornate lid handle create a harmonious aesthetic. The tureen rests gracefully on three feet, reflecting the refined tastes of the early 19th century. This piece, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship and domestic style of the period.
