Beaker 1770 - 1790

This simple yet elegant silver beaker, crafted by Myer Myers between 1770 and 1790, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the American silversmith. The cylindrical form, with a slightly flared lip and a rounded base, exemplifies the restrained aesthetic of the period. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the beaker stands as a reminder of the growing artistic sophistication of colonial America during the 18th century.
