Tea Jar by Bernard Leach. The ceramic object has a bulbous body with a narrow neck and a small mouth. The body is primarily brown with darker brown speckles towards the top. A horizontal line demarcates the brown section from a black section with small brown speckles. Above the black section is a white section with some brown cracks and a small amount of brown on the edge. The object has a small foot at the base. The background is gray and transitions from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
