Flower Pot

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Flower Pot by William Moorcroft, is a large, grey ceramic pot with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The pot has a body that is wider at the top than at the bottom. The body of the pot features a design in shades of yellow and orange on a grey background. The design consists of a series of interconnected curved lines and floral patterns. The lines and patterns are outlined in yellow and filled with orange. The pot appears to be old and worn, with some chipped edges and a rough texture. The background of the image is a plain grey color.
