Saucer

Seifū Yohei III

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Saucer by Seifū Yohei III depicts a ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl has a light green glaze and a small foot ring at the bottom, which is unglazed and shows the terracotta color of the clay. The bowl is symmetrical and has a slight lip around the rim. The background is gray with a vignette effect, and the bowl casts a shadow on the surface below it. The overall appearance is simple and elegant.
