Tea Jar by Shofu. The object is a ceramic jar with a wide body and narrow opening at the top. The jar has a shiny glaze that is primarily brown at the bottom, transitioning to black and gray towards the top, with some lighter brown and orange tones visible. The jar's body is bulbous with a slight indentation in the middle, and it sits on a flat surface. The background is a plain gray color. The jar appears to have some small imperfections and marks on its surface. There is a small line on the left side of the jar, possibly a scratch or a join mark. A red mark is visible on the lower front of the jar.
