Sugar Bowl

Harvey Lewis

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Sugar Bowl by Harvey Lewis is a shiny silver object with a rounded rectangular base. A small lip with a decorative border encircles the base. A short pedestal rises from the base. The pedestal is widest at the bottom and tapers up; it has a decorative border at the top. A wide bowl with a decorative border just below the rim rises from the pedestal, widening then curving inward. Two handles protrude from the bowl. The handles each have a decorative element that resembles a winged creature. A shield shape with a crest and a banner underneath is etched on the bowl's front. A lid with a decorative border and a knob on top covers the bowl. The knob is shaped like an upside-down acorn. A decorative design encircles the lid on the underside. The object sits on a flat surface with light gray shading behind it.
