Old cup
by Suzette A Paduano

This is a strange cup! I am not sure what it was used for. I stepped on it in the woods.
Picked it up and set it on this rotting stump. I had to shoot it!

1/40s f/5.6 at 55.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

A great find, well taken.

Looks like a gravy bowl. The spout is set low on the pot so that the gravy pours out but the fat, floating on top, stays in the bowl. That's why 1/2 of the top is covered.

I like the composition. The changing rusty leaves set off the rusty old cup. The stump makes a nice natural frame. I think I would have removed the green grass behind... probably in photoshop because a lot of times, I don't see those little things when I'm taking the picture. But I do like the little tiny bits of green moss(?) growing on the stump.

Might it be a Neti pot?

Nice setting.. If I'm not mistaken, I think they were used in Hospitals for patients to drink from..

Maybe it can be used as either a cup or tea pot.
