Wine Pot with Cover

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Wine Pot with Cover by Bernard Leach. Black kettle with white designs covering the body and handle. The body is bulbous with a short spout to the left and a small knob on top of the lid. The handle arches up from the back of the kettle then curves back down. The base has three small feet. The white designs are swirls and flowers. The kettle sits on a light-colored background. A small white circle obscures the bottom-right corner.
