Sugar Bowl 1854 - 1862

"Sugar Bowl" is a silver sugar bowl made by the silversmithing firm of Cooper and Fisher in 1854-1862. The bowl is a simple, elegant form with a domed lid and a flared foot. The piece is inscribed with the initials "A.V.D.S.," possibly representing the original owner. This sugar bowl is a fine example of American silver craftsmanship of the mid-19th century, and it is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
