Dish ring c. 1790

This silver dish ring, dating back to c. 1790, is a beautiful example of decorative craftsmanship. It is crafted with a circular form and a raised, fluted rim, showcasing intricate ornamentation. The surface features repeating decorative bands and circular medallions with stylized floral motifs. The anonymous artist masterfully used the repoussé technique to create these raised designs, adding depth and visual interest to the piece. This dish ring, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, likely served a practical purpose in a domestic setting, while also highlighting the refined tastes of its owner.
