Covered Bowl

Chinese Qing Dynasty

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a porcelain jar with a lid. The image features a round, smooth jar with a matching lid that has a small knob on top. The jar appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain, and its glossy surface reflects light subtly. The lid fits snugly on the jar's opening, and a thin line of unglazed ceramic is visible at the edge where the lid meets the jar. The background is a muted, neutral color.
