The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Water pot in the shape of a bird by Leach, Bernard is a stoneware vessel with a bulbous body, roughly spherical in shape. The pot has a small circular opening at the top and a small protrusion on one side resembling a bird's head or ear. The surface features textured lines around the body and a small circular nose or eye on the front. The pot sits on a small circular base. The background of the image is plain and light-colored.
