Cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a ceramic cup. The cup is centered in the image and viewed from the front. It has a wide mouth that tapers down to a narrow base. The cup appears to be made of ceramic or stone and has a light-colored glaze. The surface of the cup has a cracked appearance. The cup sits on a flat surface, and there are two small labels in front of it. One label has numbers on it; the other reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 1925". A ruler-like object is also placed in front of the cup. The background is a plain light-colored wall. The artist of the cup is not visible, but the title is "Cup".
