EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning silver caster dating back to around 1720. Crafted by the talented Andrew Tyler (1692-1741), this exquisite piece is currently housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, USA. Weighing a mere 2 ounces and 10 pennyweights, this delicate item measures approximately 8.50 cm in height and 6.70 cm in width. The caster's primary function was to evenly distribute a finely ground substance, most likely pepper. Its handle adds both elegance and practicality to its design. Notably engraved on the bottom are the letters "M" over "D * L" in shaded block letters, while on the front opposite the handle appears "AM" in bold block lettering. A generous gift from Hollis French, this remarkable piece represents American craftsmanship at its finest during that era. This photograph captures every intricate detail of this tableware artifact with precision and clarity. Transport yourself back to the opulence of the eighteenth century as you admire this silver caster's timeless beauty through Bridgeman Images' exceptional photography skills. Delve into history as you explore not only its functional purpose but also appreciate it as an artistic masterpiece from that period - an embodiment of elegance and sophistication that transcends time itself.
