Black-Topped Beaker

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Black-Topped Beaker by an unknown artist features a tall, cylindrical vessel with a wide mouth. The top portion of the beaker is black with small white speckles. A thin band of red-brown color separates the black top from the main body of the beaker. The body of the beaker is a darker reddish-brown color with lighter speckles. The beaker appears to be made of clay and has a rough texture with visible scratches and marks. The background of the image is a gradient gray color.
