Creampot with later cover

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Creampot with later cover by an unknown artist features a silver-colored metal object with a square base, a short stem, and a large, wide body that tapers in towards the top. A decorative edge runs around the top of the body. The object has a spout on the left side and a thin curved handle on the right side. A small finial sits atop a rounded lid. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
