Dish

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a round, white plate with a gold rim and a monogram in the center. The plate is white with a wide rim and a narrower inner rim, both outlined in gold. The monogram in the center of the plate is in gold and appears to be "JMW". The plate is shown from the front, with the rim facing outwards. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The plate casts a shadow on the surface below it. The artist of this piece is not visually identifiable from the image; however, the piece is titled "Dish".
