EDITORS COMMENTS
This silver porringer by Hester Duany, created in 1936, showcases the artist's exceptional talent for blending modern design with traditional craftsmanship. The porringer, a type of shallow, two-handled bowl, is a period item that embodies the elegance and sophistication of the 1930s in America. Duany, an accomplished artist known for her graphite on paper works, also excelled in creating decorative arts, including this stunning silver porringer. The piece, with its smooth, polished silver surface, exudes an air of refinement and understated luxury. The simple yet distinctive initials "HD" subtly etched into the metal add a personal touch, making it a unique and cherished piece of tableware. The porringer, a common household item during the 20th century, was often used for serving and drinking warm beverages or soups. This particular piece, with its sleek, streamlined design, would have been a striking addition to any contemporary American home in the 1930s. Now, decades later, the Silver Porringer by Hester Duany remains an intriguing artifact, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 1930s. It is a prized possession in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors as a beautiful example of American design from the Index of American Design era.
