John Will

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal mug by John Will. The mug is cylindrical with a domed lid and a curved handle on the right side. The handle is thick and curved with a rounded base where it meets the mug. The handle curves downward and to the right. The mug has engraved text on the front. The mug appears to be made of a dark-colored metal, possibly pewter or silver. The mug has a slight lip around the base and around the top where the lid meets. The lid is domed and appears to be attached to the mug by a hinge at the back. The background is white.
