Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image features a ceramic jar by artist Izumi Ken. The jar is bulbous with a rounded body that tapers slightly at the bottom. The opening at the top is relatively small and rounded. The jar has a predominantly greenish-gray glaze. There are noticeable purple splotches on the upper part of the jar. The base and the rim around the opening have exposed brown clay. The jar appears to be sitting on a white surface against a white background.
