Syrup Jug

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a ceramic jug titled "Syrup Jug" by an unnamed artist. The jug has a white body with a raised design of tree branches and flowers. The jug's body is shaped like a truncated cone, wider at the bottom than at the top. The handle is on the right side, shaped like a branch with leaves. The lid is dark-colored metal with a small finial on top. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The jug casts a shadow to the right.
