Cannister

Johann Melchoir Warner

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a metal canister titled "Cannister" by artist Johann Melchoir Warner. The canister is made of silver-colored metal and has a cylindrical lid with ridged sides. The body of the canister is octagonal and features a floral design etched into it. The lid is positioned on top of the canister, and there are no visible handles or other protrusions. The canister is sitting on a white surface, and the background is a gradient from black at the top to white at the bottom. The canister appears to be old and has a worn, aged look. The etched floral design on the canister consists of flowers and leaves arranged in panels on each side. The panels are separated by vertical lines running the length of the canister. The ridged lid has a series of stacked, concentric rings around its circumference. The base of the canister is flat.
