Sugar bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Sugar bowl by Louis Comfort Tiffany features a light blue glass container with a wide mouth and a short, narrow stemmed lid. The body of the bowl has a series of curved, faceted panels that give it a decorative appearance. The base of the bowl is circular and flat. The lid is similarly faceted and has a small, rounded knob on top. The background of the image is a gradient of gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom. The object casts a slight shadow on the surface below it.
