Sugar Bowl (England)

This is a sugar bowl. It was designed by Joseph Angell III. It is dated 1852–53 and we acquired it in 1994. Its medium is silver. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.

It is credited Museum purchase from Decorative Arts Association Acquisition Fund in memory of Dona Guimaraes.

A vase with a silver exterior and silver gilded interior that flares at the top and bottom with a small circular relief design appearing as if it were hammered with a small tool similar to a repoussé-like texture. The vase has an undulating top edge that creates a gentle lip where the gilded interior is exposed. The body is detailed with low relief leaves and flowers with center gemstones elegantly connected with vines that surround the vase. An isolated three dimensional bee encrusted with two gemstones walks on the interior lip while a gilded bee with two jewels explores the body of the vase. Toward the bottom of the vase are four bands of different textures; a narrow unadorned shiny silver band, a wider hammered band, an unreflective equally wide band with a continuous curling vine and a thinner hammered band with a shiny angular unadorned base.
