Covered Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white porcelain jar with a lid, covered in black designs. The jar has a narrow base that widens into a bulbous body, then narrows again into a short neck before widening out to form the lid's base. The lid is domed with a small, rounded knob on top. The jar and lid are decorated with intricate black designs, including floral patterns, trees, and people. The designs are more densely packed on the body of the jar than on the lid. The base of the jar has a decorative border around the bottom. The jar appears to be sitting on a plain surface against a plain background. Search for: "Covered Jar" by an unknown artist.
