Soup Dish

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white soup dish with a gold rim and blue and green floral design by the artist Carl Ek. The dish is round and has a wide, shallow bowl. The rim of the dish is white with a gold border around the edge. There are small blue flowers with green leaves painted on the inside of the dish. The flowers are scattered around the dish, with a larger cluster of flowers in the center. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The dish casts a slight shadow on the surface below it. The image appears to be a product photo or a museum exhibit.
