Myer Myers American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 704

This beaker is one of three in the Museum’s collection (1980.501.1-.3) and was originally part of a set of six made for Isaac Moses and his wife, Reyna Levy, possibly at the time of their wedding on August 8, 1770. Reyna was a daughter of Myer Myers’s sister, Sloe, and her husband, the merchant Hayman Levy. Isaac Moses was a highly successful businessman, involved in international trade as well as privateering. Both he and Myers were active members of Congregation Shearith Israel in New York.
