Creamer 1790 - 1810

This silver creamer, crafted by American silversmith Joseph Moulton between 1790 and 1810, is a fine example of Federal-era design. The piece's simple, elegant form features a rounded body with vertical fluting and a graceful S-shaped handle. Its clean lines and restrained ornamentation reflect the aesthetic ideals of the period, which emphasized practicality and classical influences. The creamer, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Moulton's skill and the enduring appeal of American silver craftsmanship.
