Water Pot

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a cylindrical ceramic vessel titled "Water Pot" by the artist Bernard Leach. The vessel is dark-colored with a lighter-colored triangular section at the top, the lighter color also appearing on the inside rim. The vessel has a wide mouth and a slightly narrower base. It has a rough texture with visible speckles and small bumps on its surface. The background of the image is light gray. The vessel appears to be handmade, with visible wheel-throwing marks. The surface has a semi-glossy appearance. The vessel is centered in the image.
