Waste bowl c. 1863 - 1912

This "Waste bowl" is part of a five-piece silver tea set created by the American firm Bigelow, Kennard & Co. around the turn of the 20th century. The set consists of a teapot, coffee pot, creamer, sugar bowl, and a waste bowl. The set showcases an octagonal design with a beaded rim that highlights the craftsmanship and artistry associated with early 20th-century American silver. The set is on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
