The image shows a silver-colored metal tankard by Roswell Gleason. The tankard is made of silver-colored metal and has a cylindrical body with a flat bottom. It features a short, curved handle on the left side and a circular lid on top. The lid has a circular indentation in the center. The tankard appears to be tarnished, with darker spots and discoloration visible on its surface. The background is a plain, off-white color with a black border around the edges. A shadow is cast to the left of the tankard.
