Sugar Caster

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a Sugar Caster by an unknown artist. The object is a glass container with a metal top. The glass is clear and has a rounded shape, wider at the bottom than the top. The glass features a pattern of raised oval indentations covering its surface. The metal top is silver-colored, has a circular shape, and is perforated with many small holes. The background of the image is a plain wall and the object casts a shadow to the left. The object appears to be sitting on a flat surface. The image is in black and white.
