The image depicts a Tea jar by Kondo Tomo. The jar is bulbous with a rounded body that curves inward towards the top. The jar has a wide mouth with a slightly narrow neck and a lid on top. The lid is circular and flat with a small knob in the center. The jar and lid are primarily dark brown with lighter colored speckles across the surface. The lid and top portion of the jar are lighter than the rest. The jar casts a slight shadow on the surface below and behind it. The background behind the jar is white.
