Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl, by René Lalique, has a wide, short body with a wavy rim and three feet. The bowl is predominantly dark blue and purple with an iridescent sheen. It features a floral pattern etched into its surface. The three feet are curved and resemble leaves or tendrils. The background of the image is gray, with a shadow cast to the right of the bowl.
