Cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts the artwork titled "Cup", created by the artist Bernard Leach. The image is a photograph of a ceramic cup with a brown and beige glaze. The cup has a wide mouth and a narrow base, with a wavy rim. The cup's shape resembles a truncated cone with a curved, irregular top edge. The color of the cup is primarily light brown with darker brown and beige undertones. The background is a plain off-white color, with a subtle shadow cast by the cup on the surface below. The cup appears to be sitting on a flat surface.
