The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a round "Soup Plate" by Josiah Wedgwood. The plate features a scenic design on a white background. The center of the plate depicts a landscape scene with trees and what appear to be buildings in the background. A thin line borders the scene. The plate's rim has a decorative design consisting of a series of interconnected rounded shapes. Two concentric lines, one smooth and one beaded, encircle the plate. The outer rim features a repeating pattern of curved shapes. The image is in black and white.
