Cream Pot (part of a set) 1900

This silver cream pot, crafted by the Gorham Manufacturing Company in 1900, is a fine example of Art Nouveau design. Its rounded form and stylized floral motifs are characteristic of the movement, which emphasized organic and flowing lines. The pot's elegant curves and delicate detailing showcase the company's skilled craftsmanship and the popularity of Art Nouveau during this period. The cream pot, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the enduring appeal of this iconic design style.
