Apothecary Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a ceramic apothecary jar by artist William Moorcroft. The jar has a wide, slightly flared mouth with a beige interior; the exterior is dark blue with white speckles. The body of the jar tapers slightly from top to bottom then flares out before tapering again to form the base. The bottom of the jar is dark blue and speckled like the rest of the exterior. The background of the image is grey with a white border on the right side.
