Beaker

Samuel Ely Hamlin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Beaker by Samuel Ely Hamlin: A cylindrical metal beaker with a slightly flared top and bottom. The beaker's body is made of a silver-colored metal, exhibiting numerous scratches and marks across its surface. A thin band encircles the bottom edge, while the top rim also appears to be slightly thicker and more reflective than the rest of the beaker. The beaker is positioned on a flat surface with a plain background.
