Mug

Daniel Curtiss

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Mug by Daniel Curtiss. The mug is made of dark metal, possibly pewter or tin, with visible scratches and scuffs. The mug is cylindrical with a slight narrowing at the top and a flat base. A single handle protrudes from the right side, curved in a smooth arc. The handle is thicker at the base where it meets the mug and tapers to a thinner end at the top. The mug has a slight lip around the top edge. The background is a plain gray surface with a slight shadow cast by the mug on the right side.
