Saltcellar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Saltcellar by an unknown artist shows a white ceramic bowl with a scalloped edge. The bowl features a repeating pattern of circular indentations along its exterior, each with a raised edge. The indentations are surrounded by rows of small bumps. The bowl appears to be sitting on a flat surface, casting a shadow to the left. The background is a plain gray color. The bowl is centered in the image.
