Bowl with cover and stand

F.S.S.

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

This bowl may have formed part of a traveling set similar to one by the same maker, formerly in the collection of Viscount Monck, inscribed: "A Bartlemew Fairing sent by his Grace the Duke or Ormond to Fridasweed Lady Stephens". The decorative engraving on this set and our bowl and stand were undoubtedly executed by the same artist and derived from one source of design, either by Simon Gribelin or under his influence.

European Sculpture and Decorative Arts

An exhibit at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The fifty thousand objects in the Museum's comprehensive and historically important collection of European sculpture and decorative arts reflect the development of a number of art forms in Western European countries from the early fifteenth through the early twentieth century. The holdings include sculpture in many sizes and media, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, metalwork and jewelry, horological and mathematical instruments, and tapestries and textiles. Ceramics made in Asia for export to European markets and sculpture and decorative arts produced in Latin America during this period are also included among these works.
