Teabowl and saucer 1719 - 1720

This is a silver teabowl and saucer set, made by John Goode in 1719-1720. The set, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, demonstrates the elegant simplicity of early 18th century English silver craftsmanship. The teabowl, with its slightly flared rim, and the saucer, with its gently sloping sides, are both crafted with meticulous attention to detail and proportion. They are a testament to the artistry and skill of John Goode, a prominent silversmith of his time.
