Sugar Bowl

Ebenezer Moulton

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a Sugar Bowl by Ebenezer Moulton. The bowl is made of silver and has a rounded shape with a wide mouth and a short, threaded base. The bowl is engraved on the front with cursive letters. The lid is domed with a small finial on top and fits snugly on top of the bowl. The bowl and lid have a smooth, shiny surface with some small spots or marks visible. The background of the photo is white, with a shadow cast by the bowl and lid. The overall appearance suggests an antique or vintage piece.
