Covered Punch Bowl

Hobbs, Brockunier and Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a covered punch bowl made by Hobbs, Brockunier and Company. The punch bowl is made of shiny gold-colored metal with a reflective surface. The bowl has a wide mouth and a narrow base. The body of the bowl is adorned with a pattern of raised, rounded bumps. The lid is domed and features a decorative finial on top, which resembles a crown or a tree. The finial is also gold-colored and has a textured surface. The background of the image is a solid teal color, with a lighter teal-colored surface that the punch bowl sits on. The punch bowl appears to be sitting on a flat surface, and it casts a slight shadow to the left.
