Tea jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts "Tea jar" by an unknown artist. The jar is made from dark-colored ceramic material with a rough texture. The jar is short and rounded with a flat lid and a small indentation on top. The base of the jar is slightly indented with a small lip around the bottom edge. The lid appears to be slightly domed with a small knob on top. The background of the image is plain white with a subtle shadow cast by the jar.
