Sugar Bowl

Hobbs, Brockunier and Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sugar bowl and creamer set. The sugar bowl is on the left; it has a wide base that tapers in and then widens again to form the body. A band of etched leaves is on the bottom half. The top half is narrower and features an etched design. A lid with a knob on top completes the piece. The creamer, on the right, has a wide base that tapers up to form the body; a handle extends from the right side. A spout is on the left side. A band of etched leaves encircles the lower half. Both pieces are white with a matte finish. The background is dark gray.
