Covered bowl

Probably David Haring American

ca. 1830–40

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 704

This double-walled covered bowl features decorative piercing on its outer wall. It may reference more refined pierced creamware examples by the Leeds Pottery in England. This piece, one of the largest known in the technique, would have been extremely difficult to make.
