Dish with Peony Design

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dish with Peony Design by unknown artist. The image shows a white ceramic bowl with a floral design. The bowl has a wide mouth and a rounded body. The interior of the bowl features a large floral motif in the center, consisting of a peony surrounded by leaves and stems. The floral design is rendered in shades of brown and black. The center of the bowl is white with a brown and black double-lined circle border. The rim of the bowl has a decorative border consisting of an interlocking scroll pattern in brown and black. The background of the image appears to be a beige fabric or wall. Three small metal brackets are visible, holding the bowl in place. The overall appearance of the bowl suggests it is an antique piece.
