Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a dark-colored jar by Bernard Leach. The jar is dark grey and bulbous with a short neck and small rim, and a flat lip. The body of the jar is mostly a dark grey color with areas of lighter grey near the top. The base of the jar tapers to a small foot. The jar appears to have been made by hand. The background is plain and light-colored.
