Cover or stand 1700 - 1715

"Cover or Stand" is a silver dish made by Johann Christoph Hünning I between 1700 and 1715. The piece is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The dish features a simple, rounded form with a wide, shallow bowl supported by three small, spherical feet. Its understated elegance reflects the prevailing taste for refined simplicity in early 18th-century German silverwork.
