Soup Bowl

Union Porcelain Works

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl is white with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The rim has a gold border with green, yellow, and orange floral designs. The floral design consists of a repeating pattern of leaves and flowers. There are four large flower motifs around the rim, spaced equally apart. The background of the image is gray, with the bowl casting a slight shadow on the surface below it. There are two gold lines on the rim, one on the inside and one on the outside. The outer line borders the floral design.
