Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White porcelain bowl. The bowl has a scalloped edge with ten curved sections. The top third of the bowl's interior and exterior rim have pink and green patterned designs with gold trim. The bottom two-thirds of the bowl's exterior have four rectangular, white panels framed in green and gold, spaced equally around the bowl. The white panels depict a tree with branches and flowers on which rest various birds. The background is gray, transitioning from light to dark, with a white band at the bottom; a shadow is on the right side.
