Cup

John Dixwell

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Cup by John Dixwell is a silver-colored metal cup with a handle on the right side. The cup is cylindrical with a slightly flared mouth and a base slightly narrower than the body. A small lip is visible around the top edge. The handle is made of the same metal, curved and attached to the cup with two small extensions. The cup's surface shows signs of wear and aging, with a dull sheen. It sits on a flat surface against a plain gray background.
