Chafing Dish

Peter Van Dyck

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Silver chafing dish by Peter Van Dyck. The dish has a wide, shallow bowl with a decorative pattern of curved lines and shapes etched into the metal. Two small handles protrude from either side of the bowl. A long handle extends from the side of the bowl, with a wooden grip and metal banding. The dish sits on three curved legs. The background is a plain gray color.
