Tankard

Frederick Bassett

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a tankard by Frederick Bassett. The tankard is made of silver-colored metal and has a cylindrical body with a slightly flared base and a narrow lip. The handle is attached to the right side and features a decorative thumb piece. A lid with a finial is on top. The tankard appears to have a patina with visible signs of wear. The background of the image is light gray, and the tankard sits on a white surface with a white border around the photo.
