About this work

This is a black ceramic pitcher with a thick handle. White paint outlines wavy lines, zigzags, and starburst shapes on its dark surface. The design looks hand-drawn, with some small dots scattered around the patterns. The pitcher’s simple but bold shapes remind you of old symbols people used for decoration. It’s not clear what these marks mean, but they stand out against the dark background. Look up zigzag next to see how this pattern shows up in other cultures.
