Sterling Silver Covered Sugar Bowl Pattern 612","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrafted by the esteemed silversmithing firm William B. Durgin Co. of Concord, New Hampshire, this antique solid sterling silver covered sugar bowl embodies the restrained elegance of early twentieth-century American neoclassical silver. Established in 1853 by William Butler Durgin, the workshop built an enduring national reputation for superior craftsmanship and refined proportions before and during its era as a celebrated division of Gorham. This vessel features a gracefully raised baluster form supported by a stepped circular pedestal foot, flanked by paired hollow C-scroll handles, and fitted with a conforming domed lid topped with a classic urn finial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unadorned, mirror-polished silver surface exemplifies the Colonial Revival aesthetic, shifting decorative focus away from Victorian excess toward architectural balance, fluid contours, and the warm intrinsic luster of fine precious metal. The recessed underside bears the authentic maker's hallmark featuring Durgin's script monogram enclosed in a circular cartouche, along with the incuse standard mark affirming solid sterling purity and the factory pattern production number 612. Period jeweler hand-inscribed inventory markings are visible on the base, reflecting historical appraisal documentation. Preserved in very good antique condition, the piece shows only light micro-scratching, faint age-appropriate contact marks, and gentle authentic patina in recessed grooves consistent with careful estate ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece measures approximately 4.75 inches in total height, 6.0 inches in width from handle to handle, and 4.0 inches in diameter depth, and weighs approximately 0.55 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patina \u0026 Prose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48730109411485,"sku":"PP-103025-206","price":598.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/4923\/2285\/files\/sterling-silver-creamer-sugar-bowl_01.jpg?v=1788629588","url":"https:\/\/patinaandprose.com\/products\/antique-william-b-durgin-co-sterling-silver-covered-sugar-bowl-pattern-612","provider":"Patina \u0026 Prose","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
