Sugar Bowl 1830 - 1845

"Sugar Bowl" is a pewter vessel created by George Richardson between 1830 and 1845. The piece is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The simple, rounded form of the sugar bowl with its domed lid and small handles reflects the refined taste of the 19th century. Richardson's masterful craftsmanship is evident in the smooth, polished surface of the pewter and the intricate details of the design. The sugar bowl, a testament to the artistry of the period, exemplifies the practical and elegant use of pewter in the 19th century.
