Sugar Bowl 1860 - 1870

The "Sugar Bowl" (1860-1870) is a piece of American silver craftsmanship created by the Gorham Manufacturing Company, a renowned silversmith that was founded in 1831 and still exists today. This small, round sugar bowl features ornate details like the scrolling handles and a coin-like medallion with a profile of a woman. The bowl's elegant form and subtle ornamentation showcase the company's skill in creating functional yet refined silver objects. This particular piece is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
