This pewter shaker, crafted by Thomas Danforth III, a prominent Shaker craftsman, exemplifies the simplicity and functionality of Shaker design. Made between 1797 and 1813, the shaker features a pear-shaped body and a domed top with a perforated lid for dispensing, highlighting the practical nature of Shaker objects. The shaker, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring aesthetic and craftsmanship of the Shaker community.
