Beaker by Thomas Danforth Boardman. Dark metal cup with a flared mouth and a narrow base. The surface is weathered with dark spots and a thin horizontal line around the middle. A small lip is visible at the bottom. The cup appears to be made of metal, possibly pewter or tin, with a dull finish. It has a cylindrical body that tapers slightly towards the base. The interior of the cup is shiny and reflective. The background is a plain gray color.
