Mug 1795 - 1819

This pewter mug, crafted by Parks Boyd between 1795 and 1819, is a simple yet elegant example of American pewterware. The cylindrical form is adorned with three horizontal bands, adding visual interest to the otherwise plain surface. The handle is slightly flared and terminates in a small, rounded knob. This mug, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Boyd's skill in creating functional and aesthetically pleasing objects.
