Sugar Bowl

William B. Heyer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Sugar Bowl by William B. Heyer is a shiny silver-colored metal object. The bowl sits on a base with three small balls at the bottom. The base is wider than the bowl and has a decorative edge. The bowl is round and bulbous with a slightly narrower top and bottom. A decorative edge is present near the top. Two handles are on either side, curving outward and upward. A lid with a small knob on top fits over the bowl. The knob is round and small with decor around the base; the lid has a decorative edge near the bottom. The background is white with a shadow cast by the bowl.
