Sugar bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Clear glass sugar bowl with two handles, titled "Sugar bowl" by artist. The bowl features a textured diamond pattern on its body. It has a short stem base and a small knob on top of the lid. A clear glass bird figurine with a long neck, small head, and shell-like tail sits atop the lid, angled to the left. The bowl's two handles are positioned on either side, each featuring a decorative element resembling a leaf or a flower. The background is a gray gradient transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
