Beaker

Cary Dunn

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Beaker by Cary Dunn. A cylindrical silver cup with a slightly wider mouth than base, exhibiting visible signs of aging and wear, including discoloration and tarnish on the exterior surface. The interior appears to have a polished finish. A decorative ridge encircles the bottom. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom, with the object casting a subtle shadow.
