Sugar Bowl 1840 - 1850

"Sugar Bowl" is a silver sugar bowl created by American silversmith George B. Foster between 1840 and 1850. The bowl is a classic example of American silver craftsmanship, showcasing intricate details and a simple, elegant design. It's a testament to the craftsmanship and refinement of the mid-19th century, with a domed lid, delicate handles, and a smooth, polished finish. The bowl's inscription is evidence of its personal use, adding another layer to the story it tells. Now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the piece remains a cherished example of American silverwork, demonstrating the skill and creativity of the time.
