Fingerbowl c. 1929 - 1930

This set of four silver bowls, known as a "fingerbowl," was likely made between 1929-1930 by an anonymous artist. It was a common practice at the time to use a fingerbowl to cleanse one's fingers after a meal, particularly after eating foods like fruit or shellfish. The bowl's elaborate design and the ornate floral motif suggest a dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail. Today, the set is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
