Waterpot (Suichū)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a teapot titled "Waterpot (Suichū)" by an unknown artist. The teapot is predominantly brown with a rounded body and a short, curved spout extending to the left. A small, round knob adorns the top of the lid. The handle, positioned on the right side, is also brown and curved. The teapot features a design of white, yellow, and light green swirling patterns, including spirals and floral motifs. The base of the teapot appears to have some chipped brown glaze. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
