Copper Measuring Cup

Wilford H. Shurtliff

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large copper jug with a handle on its left side. The jug is primarily colored in warm, rusty copper with subtle variations in tone. The interior appears to be a pale grayish color. Positioned centrally, the handle extends outward to the left, adding a slight curve to the silhouette of the jug. The jug is placed against a plain, light background, which highlights its metallic luster.
