This silver sugar bowl was crafted by Sébastien Igonet in 1753-1754, a prominent French silversmith known for his elegant, understated designs. The piece is notable for its engraved coat of arms and a pineapple-shaped finial, a popular motif in 18th-century French decorative arts symbolizing hospitality and prosperity. The sugar bowl, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and refined taste of the French Rococo period.
