Quart mug by Joseph Danforth. The mug is made of metal and is primarily cylindrical in shape. A slight narrowing is present just above the base and the top edge is slightly everted. A single handle is attached on the right side with a decorative scroll at the base. The mug's surface exhibits visible signs of aging and wear. The interior of the mug appears dark. The background is light-colored.
