Silver Tankard

Charlotte Winter

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large silver teapot with a curved handle and spout. It has an inscription that reads, "M.B. Moser from his Associates Dec. 25, 1928." The color palette is shades of grey, with detailed graphite pencil work. The teapot is prominently positioned in the center, slightly tilted to the right. In the top right corner, there is a smaller technical drawing—an overhead view of the teapot with dimensions. In the bottom left corner, there is a detailed close-up of the teapot's spout and handle junction. The composition is set against a plain, light background, emphasizing the detailed illustration.
