Dish 1814 - 1839

This pewter dish, created by American silversmith Samuel Kilbourn between 1814 and 1839, showcases the craftsmanship of the early 19th century. The dish is simple in design, featuring a circular form with a slightly raised rim. Its surface, now marked by time and use, reveals the history of its daily function. This piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a tangible reminder of the domestic life and artistic traditions of its time.
