Trinket Box

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The trinket box by artist Kate faintly depicts an oval-shaped white porcelain box with a rounded lid. The box has a short base and a raised, patterned design on the front and sides consisting of leaves and flowers. The lid features a raised design of leaves and berries on top. The surface of the lid has a stippled texture around the raised design. The box is predominantly white with no other colors visible. The background of the image appears to be a flat, light-colored surface.
