Beaker 1730 - 1770

This elegant silver beaker, created by Adrian Bancker between 1730 and 1770, is a fine example of American silversmithing. The beaker's simple, cylindrical form and smooth, polished surface are characteristic of the period, reflecting the influence of classical design principles. The beaker is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This piece exemplifies the artistry of 18th-century American silversmiths and is a testament to the craftsmanship of the time.
