milk cup.

i also stole this old milk cup from out in the barn last weekend. i love this cup, its so beat up and has so much character. its amazing the amount of character that can be injected in an object from years of use. i (as well as my brother, father, and mother) used to use this cup to scoop milk into buckets to feed the calves out in the hutches. 3 cups of milk per calf, and a little warm water until they were weened off of milk on onto grain and hay. i wonder if character found in objects is just some form of mass nostalgia, or if it can be seen in objects sans nostalgia??

  1. Do you think character (in an object) exists without sentiment be it nostalgia or some fictional internal personal narrative we attribute to imperfection or wear?
