Tea jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white ceramic jar with a lid, titled "Tea jar" by an artist. The jar is white with a wide body that tapers slightly at the bottom. The lid is round and flat with a small knob in the center. The jar has two decorative bands around it. The top band consists of six rectangular panels with a pattern resembling cracked ice. The panels alternate with thin vertical lines. The lower band has seven circular designs with a swirling pattern. A thin double-lined border separates the bands from the body of the jar. A decorative line of interlocking circles encircles the base of the jar. The jar sits on a white surface against a white background.
