Dish 1807 - 1813

This pewter dish, crafted by American silversmith Thomas Danforth III between 1807 and 1813, is a simple yet elegant example of early American craftsmanship. The dish's circular form and smooth, slightly raised rim are characteristic of the period, reflecting the functional and aesthetic sensibilities of the time. Today, it resides in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, offering a glimpse into the domestic life of the early 19th century.
