Dish 1793 - 1813

Jacob Eggleston's "Dish," crafted between 1793 and 1813, is a simple yet elegant example of pewterware from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The circular dish, with a slightly raised rim, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the American silversmith Eggleston, who was renowned for his functional and aesthetically pleasing pewter objects. This particular dish, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the enduring beauty of everyday objects.
