Sugar Bowl

Cooper and Fisher

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Sugar Bowl by Cooper and Fisher is a silver-colored, covered vessel with a rounded body that tapers inward at the top. A short, wide pedestal base supports the bowl. The lid is domed with a small, circular depression at the top. Three lines encircle the lid, one at the top, one at the middle, and one at the base. The letters "A.M.S" are engraved on the front of the lid. The bowl appears to have a slightly darker color at the top and lighter towards the bottom. The background is light gray with a slight shadow cast by the bowl.
