George E. Ohr

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl has a wide, irregularly shaped mouth with a wavy edge. The interior of the bowl is copper-colored with black speckles. The exterior is primarily green with black and yellow accents. The bowl's base is small and rounded. The background is a gradient of gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom. The bowl casts a shadow on the surface below it.
