Teabowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Teabowl by Bernard Leach. The image shows a black ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and a rounded body. The bowl has a glossy finish and appears to be handmade, with visible imperfections and unevenness in its shape and surface. The interior of the bowl is dark and smooth. The exterior has a few small bumps and ridges, and a darker area on the front. The bowl is positioned on a plain background, casting a slight shadow underneath.
