Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Round clear glass bowl with a wide mouth and scalloped edge. The bowl features an etched design on its exterior and interior, including floral patterns, scrollwork, and geometric shapes. The design is symmetrical, with a central motif surrounded by repeating patterns. The bowl appears to be made of transparent glass, allowing the etched design to be visible from multiple angles. The background of the image is a plain gray surface, on which the bowl casts a shadow. The bowl is titled "Bowl" and is an artwork by an unspecified artist.
