Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Jar by Bernard Leach is a ceramic vessel with a rounded body and short neck. The jar has a light brown color with darker brown speckles and two dark brown leaf designs on the sides. A small circular foot supports the jar. The background is a gradient of gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom, with the jar casting a shadow to the right.
