Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a glass jar by an unknown artist titled "Jar". The jar is made of clear glass, with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The jar has a rounded body with a slight indentation in the middle. The rim of the jar is flat and smooth. The jar appears to be empty and has no visible contents. The background of the image is white, suggesting that it may be a product photo or a still life composition. The jar casts a faint shadow on the surface below it.
