Teabowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a teabowl by Bernard Leach, a ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl is made of brown clay, has a textured surface with a pattern of small, wavy lines around its body, and a small foot at the bottom. The interior of the bowl is lighter in color than the exterior. The background is a plain gray color, with a slight shadow cast by the bowl on the right side. The bowl appears to be sitting on a flat surface.
