Water Dropper

Cleveland Museum of Art

The "Water Dropper" by the artist is a ceramic vessel with a predominantly white and black color scheme. The vessel has a rounded body with a dark-colored base that covers most of the lower half. The upper portion of the body and the lid are white with a dark-brown design. The lid features a dark-brown bird-like figure with a spotted body and a long beak, surrounded by dark-brown leaves. The lid's edge and the top of the body have a dark-brown line design, with the body's design resembling overlapping petals or teardrops. A small, curved spout protrudes from the left side of the vessel. The background of the image is dark at the top and gradually lightens towards the bottom, with the vessel casting a shadow on the surface below.
