Binnenbak van blauw glas 1805

"Binnenbak van blauw glas" is a small, silver-plated bowl made in 1805 by Dutch silversmith Nathanael Teuter. The bowl features a deep blue glass insert and delicate, openwork silver sides. The bowl's small size and elaborate detailing point to its use as a decorative sugar bowl or a salt cellar. Teuter was a skilled silversmith who crafted many ornate pieces in the Neoclassical style, known for its emphasis on symmetry and simplicity, which is visible in the symmetrical design of the bowl.
