Tea Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The "Tea Jar" by artist Bernard Leach is a ceramic jar with a brown and black glaze. The jar has a wide body that tapers slightly towards the top, with a short neck and a small opening. Two small handles are on either side of the neck. The base of the jar is flat. The glaze is primarily brown with black accents and some lighter brown areas. The background of the image is gray, with the jar casting a shadow to the right.
