Water Vessel c. 14th century

This 14th-century ceramic water vessel, created by an anonymous artist, is a beautiful example of functional art. The vessel's rounded body, slender neck, and spout suggest its practical use for pouring liquids. The delicate green glaze, with subtle variations in color and texture, adds a touch of elegance to the piece. The vessel, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases the craftsmanship and artistic expression present in everyday objects of the past.
