Basin 1800s

"Basin" is a silver basin created by American silversmith Gershom Jones in the 1800s. The basin is a simple, circular dish with a slightly raised rim. It is made of plain silver, and there is a small crest in the center of the basin. The piece is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This piece is a fine example of American silversmithing from the late 18th century.
