Water Jar in the Shape of a Well Bucket
Water Jar in the Shape of a Well Bucket by Bernard Leach. A black and white photograph of a ceramic vessel with a handle on the back. The vessel is made from dark-colored clay and has a glossy finish. It is shaped like a bucket with straight sides and a flat bottom. The vessel has a wide mouth and a small handle on the back. The surface of the vessel features a cracked glaze with a darker color at the top and lighter color at the bottom. There are also black painted designs on the lower half of the vessel, including curved lines and geometric shapes. The background of the image is a plain wall with a shadow cast by the vessel.
