Creampot 1750 - 1770

"Creampot" is a silver pitcher, crafted by Samuel Casey in the mid-18th century. It features a bulbous body resting on three delicate feet, a graceful handle, and a scalloped rim. This piece showcases the elegance and craftsmanship of American silversmithing during the Rococo period, a style known for its intricate designs and emphasis on asymmetry. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this "Creampot" stands as a testament to Casey's skill and the enduring beauty of handcrafted silver objects.
