The teabowl by Bernard Leach features a ceramic bowl with a predominantly black and white color scheme. The bowl has a wide mouth and a rounded body. The glaze transitions from dark black at the top to white towards the bottom. The black glaze appears to drip down, creating streaks on the white portion. The surface of the bowl shows a textured, speckled appearance. The bowl sits on a white surface, casting a shadow underneath. The background is white with faint vertical lines visible behind the bowl.
