Fingerbowl c. 1929 - 1930

The "Fingerbowl" set, created by an anonymous artist in the late 1920s, consists of a large, oval bowl with two handles and three smaller bowls. Each piece is crafted from a silver alloy and features intricate floral motifs, creating a delicate and elegant aesthetic. The set was created for a domestic setting, intended for serving finger bowls, which were used for rinsing fingers during formal meals. The set is now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offering a glimpse into the decorative arts of the early 20th century.
