Mug 1780 - 1820

This silver mug, created between 1780 and 1820 by the artist M.H., is a simple yet elegant example of 18th-century metalwork. Its cylindrical form is adorned with horizontal bands of incised lines, adding a subtle texture to the polished surface. The single handle, slightly curved and attached to the side, provides a comfortable grip. This mug, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is a testament to the craftsmanship and understated beauty of the era.
