Figure Dish

McKee and Brothers

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white dish with a swan on top. The dish is round and short, with vertical ridges around the outside. It has a fluted edge. The swan on top is white and made of a shiny material, possibly glass or ceramic. The swan's body is in the dish, and its neck is curved upward, with its head turned to the right. Its tail is raised and curved backward. The background is black, with a light source coming from the left side. The dish and swan are sitting on a dark surface.
