Creamer 1790 - 1800

John David Jr.’s “Creamer” is a fine example of 18th-century American silversmithing. Made between 1790 and 1800, the creamer, crafted from silver, features a graceful, flowing shape and a delicate, understated elegance. The creamer stands on a square base, with a short, rounded foot, and its spout is elegantly curved. The handle is simple and elegant, with a small, delicate leaf-like detail at the top. This piece is a testament to the skill and artistry of John David Jr., a prominent silversmith of his time. “Creamer” is currently part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
