Pitcher

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts Pitcher by Kiyomizu Rokubun; a brown ceramic pitcher. The pitcher has a wide body that tapers to a narrower neck and flared mouth. A handle extends from the right side. The body has a bulbous form and a small foot at the base. The brown glaze exhibits orange and darker brown mottling and speckles, with the darker brown predominating toward the bottom. Small chips are visible along the rim. A shadow is cast to the right. The background is light gray.
