Cleveland Museum of Art

The Sugar Urn with Cover by Harvey Lewis features a silver-colored urn with a rounded body, short neck, and a pedestal base. The base consists of stacked ridged disks with engraved motifs near the top and bottom edges. The body of the urn has engraved swirling designs containing berry-like shapes on the middle section, bordered by engraved lines on the top and bottom. Two leaf-shaped handles are attached on either side. The lid is domed with a short finial on top, featuring a decorative leaf motif where it meets the lid. The lid sits on a short neck adorned with an engraved line near the top. The background is gray with a darker shade at the top.
