This silver sugar bowl and spoons were made by Bendix Gijsen in 1804, and are currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The set features a spherical sugar bowl with a hinged lid, a cylindrical base, and eight spoons. The gilded base has a decorative design of vertical lines and eight applied spoons. The bowl is supported by a ring with a stylized female head and floral decoration. This piece is an example of the exquisite craftsmanship that characterized Dutch silverware in the early 19th century.
