Pot for Wine or Tea

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a kettle. The kettle is made of brass or bronze and has a rounded body with a long, curved spout on the left side. A handle made of the same material curves up from the top of the kettle. The lid features a circular opening with a screw in the center. The kettle's surface exhibits a green and gold patina, with visible signs of aging and wear. The background is a plain white surface, suggesting a product photo or catalog image. The kettle appears to be an antique or vintage item, and could potentially be used for wine or tea.
