Tumbler

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black Tumbler by Grayson Perry, a cylindrical cup with a wide mouth and a slight narrowing at the base. The cup is glossy and features a gradient color scheme, transitioning from black at the top and bottom to a lighter gray in the middle. The black portions are solid, while the gray portion features a pattern resembling wispy clouds or smoke. The cup sits on a light-colored surface, casting a shadow to the left. The background is white.
