Waste Bowl

Harvey Lewis

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Waste Bowl by Harvey Lewis shows a silver bowl with a wide, rounded body that tapers slightly at the top and bottom. The bowl sits on a short, thick stem that connects to a wide base. A decorative edge runs along the top of the bowl and around the stem where it meets the base. The bowl has a shiny surface with some darker spots and marks. An engraved crest or coat of arms is visible on the front. The base has an inscription.
