Jar with three lugs

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title of the image is "Jar with three lugs" by the artist Bernard Leach. The image shows a black and white photo of a ceramic jar. The jar is bulbous with a narrow mouth. It has a small foot at the base. There are two handles on either side near the top. The jar has a glazed dark area on the front and to one side in a rough rectangle shape with a dripped appearance. The rest of the jar appears unglazed. The background is plain and light-colored with a slight shadow cast by the jar.
