Sugar bowl with cover 1727

This brass sugar bowl and cover was crafted in 1727 by Simon Pantin I, a prominent English silversmith. The bowl is decorated with the royal cypher "G.R." for King George I, who reigned from 1714 to 1727. This detail suggests that the bowl was likely commissioned by or intended for use by someone connected to the royal court. The piece's elegant design, featuring a rounded bowl on a short pedestal foot and a fitted lid, is characteristic of Pantin's work, showcasing the craftsmanship of the period. The bowl is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
