Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The ceramic bowl by artist Derbyshire is white with a wide mouth and a narrow base. Two handles protrude from the sides, each resembling a face. The bowl's body features a design of alternating green and brown sections, separated by a thick black line and adorned with yellow leaves or flowers. A similar pattern encircles the base. The rim is decorated with geometric patterns in yellow, green, orange, and black. Chipped areas reveal the underlying ceramic material. The bowl's base features a short, wide foot with a decorative edge. The background of the image is gray with a shadow beneath the bowl.
