Water Pot

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a grey ceramic pot titled "Water Pot" by an unknown artist. The pot has a wide mouth and a narrow base with a small lip around the bottom. Two small protruding handles are on either side near the top. The body of the pot is bulbous, wider at the top than at the bottom. A darker line circles the pot near the middle. The pot appears to have a rough texture and is darker at the bottom than at the top. The background of the image is light grey.
