The image shows a silver sugar bowl. The bowl is shaped like an upside-down funnel. The base is square. The bowl sits on a short stem connected to the square base. The bowl has a wide mouth and eight concave vertical sections. The top third of the bowl is decorated with an etched pattern of dots and teardrop-shaped motifs. The lid is domed with a flame-shaped finial on top. The lid sits on a wide, flat base. The background is light grey with a slight shadow to the right of the bowl.
