Creamer 1827 - 1830

"Creamer" is a silver pitcher created by the American silversmith Newell Harding between 1827 and 1830. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the piece showcases Harding's skill in crafting functional and elegant tableware. The creamer's simple yet refined design, with its rounded body and delicate handle, embodies the prevailing taste for Neoclassical aesthetics in early 19th-century America. This elegant piece exemplifies the high quality and sophistication of American silverwork during this period.
