Quart Measure

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Quart Measure by Unknown Artist. The image shows a large, silver-colored metal pitcher with a handle on the right side. The pitcher has a wide, flat lid with a small knob on top. The handle is curved and attached to the pitcher with a small decorative piece. The pitcher has a rounded body that tapers inward at the top and a small base. The pitcher appears to be made of metal, possibly pewter or tin, and has a scratched and worn appearance. A small white label and a ruler-like object are on the surface in front of the pitcher. The background is a plain light-colored wall.
