Pewter Porringer

Charles Cullen

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large, round, metallic plate with an ornate handle attached to its top. The plate has a simple, brushed texture and is centered within a rectangular border. The color palette is primarily grayscale, with various shades of grey giving depth to the metallic surface. Above the plate, the handle is triangular in shape and features cut-out patterns and the letters "AD" in the center. Below the plate, there is a small, simplistic inset diagram showing a side view of the plate and handle. The objects are positioned centrally, with the plate taking up most of the space, and the handle extending slightly outside the circular boundary.
