Cup with Spout c. 2th century

This small, silver cup with a spout is a beautiful example of Roman craftsmanship from the 2nd century. The cup's unique shape, with its wide, shallow bowl and a distinctive spout, suggests it was used for pouring liquids. The silver surface is worn and tarnished, showcasing the passage of time and the cup's long history. Now housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, this object provides a glimpse into the everyday lives of ancient Romans.
