Cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black ceramic bowl titled "Cup" by the artist Bernard Leach. The bowl has a wide mouth and curves inwards to form the body. The body then curves outwards to form a small circular foot. The material appears to be ceramic and is glazed. The glaze on the interior is light-colored in the center and darkens towards the rim. The exterior glaze is predominantly dark-colored with streaks of lighter areas. The bowl is viewed from directly in front and slightly above. The background is light-colored and featureless.
