Mug

Samuel Danforth

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Mug by Samuel Danforth. Dark metal mug with a handle on one side. The mug is cylindrical and shorter than it is wide. Two horizontal lines circle the mug near the top. The handle curves up and out from the mug then back down in a smooth, thin arc, with a decorative curl at the bottom. The metal is scratched and marked all over. The background is light gray. The mug sits on a surface and casts a faint shadow.
