Sugar bowl 1745 - 1755

This silver sugar bowl, crafted by John Moore between 1745 and 1755, is a fine example of Rococo style. The bowl is supported by three sculpted lion’s paws and features ornate, asymmetrically arranged decoration that includes a coat of arms, floral motifs, and scrolling foliage. The craftsmanship of the piece is evident in the delicate details and the high-quality silver used in its construction. The sugar bowl is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY, and stands as a testament to the artistry of the Rococo period.
