Milk Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a glass bowl titled "Milk Bowl" by an unknown artist. The bowl is clear and made of glass, with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl's body is curved outward, wider at the top than at the bottom. It sits on a white surface, with a plain white wall behind it. The bowl's rim is smooth and rounded. There are reflections of light on the bowl's surface. The background is a plain white wall. The image has a black border with white handwritten numbers in each corner. The image appears to be an archival photograph.
