The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl is made of glass. It has a rounded bottom and sides that curve upwards. The bowl has a distinctive shape, with two notches on opposite sides near the top. The glass is colored with a gradient effect, transitioning from yellow at the bottom to pink at the top. The glass features thin, horizontal lines and small, gold-colored spots. The background is gray, with a shadow cast by the bowl to the right.
