Covered Cup 1764 - 1775

"Covered Cup" is a 1760s silver cup created by American silversmith Myer Myers. The cup features a simple, elegant design with a domed lid and two scrolled handles. It is an example of the Rococo style, popular in the mid-18th century. Myers was a prominent silversmith who worked in New York City, creating pieces for wealthy patrons. Today, "Covered Cup" is part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of colonial-era American silversmithing.
