Teabowl with Tortoiseshell Glaze

Cleveland Museum of Art

Teabowl with Tortoiseshell Glaze by unknown artist. The image shows a ceramic bowl. The bowl is positioned centrally. It has a wide mouth and tapers down to a small base. The bowl is dark brown with irregular patches of light brown. The patches are rounded and unevenly distributed. The background is grey with a gradient to black at the top. The bowl casts a shadow on the surface below. The surface is smooth and even. The lighting is from the front, slightly above. The overall appearance is simple and minimalist.
