Sugar Bowl

Philip Syng Jr.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Sugar Bowl by Philip Syng Jr. is a silver object with a rounded body and a short neck. The body is bulbous with a wide mouth and a short, thick base with stacked, rounded molding. The base sits on a flat surface. The bowl has a rounded lid with a short finial on top. The lid and bowl have a decorative, raised line around their point of connection. The bowl appears to be made of shiny, reflective silver. The background is gray with a slight shadow underneath the bowl.
