Dish 1793 - 1807

This pewter dish, created by Richard Austin between 1793 and 1807, is a simple yet elegant example of American pewterware. The dish, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the craftsmanship of the period, featuring a smooth, slightly raised rim with a subtle, concentric ring in the center. The plain surface allows the viewer to appreciate the material and its unique sheen.
