Creampot

Samuel Casey

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a silver creampot by Samuel Casey. The creampot has a shiny silver body with a slightly flared lip. The body is bulbous with a smooth, curved shape and a long, curved spout. There are three small feet at the bottom of the creampot. A handle is attached to the left side, made of silver wire that curls into decorative loops. The background of the image is a solid light gray color. The creampot sits on a surface casting a faint shadow to the left.
