    "description": "This small sugar bowl, which would have originally had a matching lid, would have been used to hold refined, white sugar intended to be mixed with coffee or tea. It was likely part of a matching tea or coffee service that has since been lost. Picturesque landscapes rendered in blue camaieu with young, flesh-colored children ornament both sides of the bowl. François Boucher’s popular paintings of peasant children certainly inspired the bowl’s decoration. The top edge and foot are gilded in a scalloped pattern.",
