Ribbed Bowl (Tazza)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Ribbed Bowl (Tazza) is an off-white, ribbed vessel with a wide mouth and a narrow pedestal base. The bowl features a V-shaped cut at the front, dividing the rim into two sections. It has a smooth, glossy surface with visible signs of wear and aging, including dark spots and a crack running down one side. The bowl's body is adorned with horizontal ribs, and its base is thick and sturdy. The background of the image is dark gray, with a lighter gray surface on which the bowl rests, casting a shadow to the right.
