Plate

John Danforth

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a plate. The plate is made of silver or silver-plated metal and appears to be circular with a raised edge. The plate has a wide rim that curves inward to form the shallow bowl of the plate. The plate appears to have a dark patina or tarnish in places. There are scratches on the surface of the plate. The plate is positioned centrally in the image. The background is a plain gray color. There is a small rectangular label at the bottom center of the image with typed text that reads "Plate made by John Danforth".
