Beaker 1700 - 1740

This silver beaker, created between 1700 and 1740 by the artist T. K., is a fine example of 18th-century metalwork. The beaker, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, features an elaborate engraved design. The central motif depicts a woman in a classical setting, surrounded by a swirling decorative border of scrolling foliage. The beaker is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the period.
