Creamer 1827

This silver creamer, created in 1827 by American silversmith Harvey Lewis, is a fine example of early 19th-century craftsmanship. The creamer’s elegant form, featuring a bulbous body, a graceful handle, and a delicate foot, showcases Lewis’s refined aesthetic. The piece is adorned with a beaded rim and a coat of arms, suggesting it was likely a commissioned work for a specific individual or family. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the creamer serves as a testament to the artistry of the period.
