Water Pot

Chinese Qing Dynasty

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a vessel shaped like an apple. It has a rounded and smooth appearance, resembling the plumpness of an apple with a small opening at the top. The color of the sculpture is a gradient mix of red and pink hues, with some areas having a speckled texture. The material appears to be glazed ceramic, giving it a glossy finish.
