Plate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The plate by Grayson Perry features a round shape with a wide rim. The plate's interior displays a pattern of alternating white and dark rectangular shapes, arranged in a diamond-like formation. A zigzag line borders the inner edge of the rim. The plate exhibits signs of wear, with smudges and stains on the surface. The overall design and pattern are visible in a black-and-white photograph.
