Tea Bowl

Cleveland Museum of Art

Tea Bowl by Leach, Bernard. The object is a ceramic bowl. The bowl has a wide mouth and a narrow base. The exterior has a light blue-green glaze on the top half and a brown glaze on the bottom half. The exterior glaze appears cracked and uneven. The interior of the bowl is unglazed and has a reddish-brown color. The bowl has three horizontal grooves around the exterior, one at the top, one in the middle and one near the base. The background of the image is a gradient from black at the top to white at the bottom. The bowl casts a shadow on the surface below it. The surface the bowl sits on is light gray.
