Water Pot

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a ceramic pot titled "Water Pot" by an unknown artist. The pot is bulbous with a short neck and a small foot. The body of the pot has a ribbed exterior. The glaze on the pot is primarily dark-colored at the bottom, with horizontal streaks of white glaze covering most of the body, except for a band around the bottom. The lid is flat with a metal handle in the center. The background is light-colored, and the pot sits on a surface that is slightly lighter than the background. The overall appearance is a black and white photograph.
