Three-Cornered Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Three-Cornered Bottle by Bernard Leach is a ceramic bottle with a beige color and a glossy finish. The bottle has a triangular shape with rounded edges, and a short neck with a small opening at the top. The surface of the bottle features a crackled glaze and a dark greenish-gray design on the front, resembling a plant or tree with a thick trunk and branches. The background of the image is a gray surface, possibly a table or shelf, and a darker gray wall behind it.
