Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photograph of a "Jar" by artist Ruth Duckworth. The jar is made of ceramic or stoneware and features a wide body that tapers slightly towards the bottom, with a narrow opening at the top. The jar has a crackled surface texture and a dark gray color with lighter gray highlights. There are dark spots and markings on the surface, including what appears to be a floral design on the front. The background of the image is plain white.
