Dish

Thomas Danforth, I

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a large, silver-colored metal dish by Thomas Danforth, I. The dish has a wide, shallow bowl with a flat bottom and slightly raised edges. The surface of the dish appears to be made of a smooth, reflective metal, possibly pewter or silver, with visible scratches and marks. The color of the dish is a uniform gray tone. The background of the image is a plain gray wall, with the dish sitting on a flat surface that is slightly lighter in color than the wall. The dish is positioned centrally in the image, with its front facing the viewer.
