Wine cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts **Wine cup** by Bernard Leach. Two small ceramic cups with white and black glaze. The cups are roughly conical in shape, with a flared mouth and a narrow base that appears to be slightly footed. The exterior of both cups features a predominantly white base glaze with irregular, expressive black brushstrokes. The interiors are glazed white with a few black speckles. The cups rest on a flat, dark surface with a gradient background transitioning from dark at the top to lighter at the bottom. The lighting casts shadows to the left of each cup.
