Chelsea Keramic Art Works

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a green ceramic pitcher made by Chelsea Keramic Art Works. The pitcher has a shiny, glossy finish and features a predominantly green color with subtle shades of brown and blue undertones. The body of the pitcher is bulbous with a narrow base. It has a wide mouth with a small lip around the edge. A curved spout protrudes from the right side, which appears to be formed by the extension of the lip. The background of the image is gray and white, transitioning from dark to light. The object casts a shadow on the surface below it.
