Creamer 1770 - 1800

This 18th-century silver creamer, crafted by John Letelier Sr. between 1770 and 1800, demonstrates the refined taste of the period. Its elegant, bulbous form with a graceful handle is adorned with a beaded rim and base, and a delicate engraved monogram adds a personal touch. The creamer, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stands as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of American silversmithing during the late colonial era.
