Mug

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Clear glass mug with a wide mouth and a slightly narrower base. The mug features a painted design around its middle, depicting a castle scene with a white castle and two yellow towers, each with a red roof. The design includes red, yellow, blue, and green colors. Two red stripes, one thicker than the other, encircle the mug above and below the painted scene, with a thin yellow stripe between them. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
