DescriptionOval, lidded sugar bowl with an all over silver luster decoration. The sugar bowl reflects the neoclassical styles of the first half of the nineteenth century by swelling from a narrow base, widening to ribbed sides, and narrowing again at the rim. Two molded and applied handles, in the shape of scrolls, have been attached to the widest point of the sugar bowl. The lid starts from a wide rim and narrows to a flared collar, inside of which is a domed, ribbed, imitation lid. A small imitation finial, molded as part of the imitation lid, rests on top of the dome.
The all over silver luster has worn off protruding portions of the sugar bowl, especialy at the handles, rims, and ribbed portions. Four chips are missing from the flared collar on the lid.
