Platter

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a round platter titled "Platter" by an unknown artist. The platter is white with a wide decorative rim. The rim has a repeating pattern of curved shapes. There are two concentric circles on the platter, one within the other, and both have a decorative edge. The inner circle contains an image of a landscape with trees, bushes, and a body of water. The landscape image also includes what appears to be a group of people and a fence or wall. The platter appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain. The background of the image is plain white.
