Covered Sugar Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Covered Sugar Bowl by an unknown artist. The image shows a black and white photograph of a covered bowl. The bowl has a wide, rounded body with a short stem base. The bowl appears to have a reflective surface. The lid is domed with a small finial on top. The lid and bowl have a slight lip where they meet. The background is a plain light grey, and the bowl casts a shadow on the surface below it.
