Tea jar with cover

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Tea jar with cover by Bernard Leach. Gray ceramic tea jar with a rough, textured surface. The jar is shaped like a truncated cone, with a slightly wider base and narrower top. The surface features darker and lighter patches. A small, round knob sits on top of the flat cover. The jar's shape tapers inward at the top, where it meets the cover. The background is plain and light-colored.
