Beaker

Moody Russell

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A tall, cylindrical silver vessel. The vessel's body is straight and smooth with a flared lip at the top and a decorative base consisting of stacked, rounded ridges. The base of the vessel sits on a flat surface. The interior and lip of the vessel are shiny, while the body is less reflective and displays subtle discoloration and surface scuffs. An inscription etched into the body reads, "This belongs to y Churck of Christ in". The background behind the vessel fades from light gray at the bottom to dark gray at the top. The title of the image is Beaker, and the artist is Moody Russell.
