Description

A terracotta lamp with a shallow, open oval bowl and a pinched spout projecting to the left, photographed in grey tones against a pale background. The thick rim curves down to a rounded body that rests on a pale blue support at the bottom edge of the print. The surface looks smooth, with a few small dark marks and a faint scratch near the rim.
