Sugar Bowl

Nicholas Roosevelt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Sugar Bowl by Nicholas Roosevelt is a shiny silver-colored bowl with a wide mouth and a short footed base. The bowl has a rounded body that curves inward toward the top. A lid sits on top, featuring a small lip around its edge and a short cylindrical protrusion in the center. The lid has a slight lip on the bottom that rests on the bowl. The background is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray toward the bottom. The bowl casts a shadow on the surface below it.
