Tea jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a round tea jar by Bernard Leach. The jar is dark-colored with a speckled texture and a lid with a small knob on top. The jar is bulbous, wider than it is tall, with a narrow opening and a flat lid. The lid is centered on top of the jar and has a small, spherical knob in the center. The background is light-colored and out of focus.
