Sugar Sifter

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Sugar Sifter by unknown artist depicts a long-handled, metal kitchen utensil with a bowl-shaped head. The head of the utensil features a honeycomb-like pattern of oval holes. The handle is curved downward at the end. The metal appears tarnished and worn, with visible signs of aging. The background is a plain beige surface.
