Water pot and cover

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a water pot and cover titled "Water pot and cover". The pot is white with a wide mouth and a narrow base. It has a black design on it, which appears to be a landscape scene with trees, buildings, and a bridge. The design wraps around the entire pot. There are no visible handles on the pot. A small lip around the top edge of the pot is visible. The background of the image is light gray. A thin dark line circles the pot near its rim.
