Dish

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The dish by artist Unknown is a ceramic bowl with a wide, shallow shape and a light greenish-gray glaze. The bowl has a flat bottom and slightly raised edges. The interior features an etched design in a lighter shade than the rest of the bowl, consisting of a flower pattern in the center surrounded by a ring of foliage and flowers. The background of the image is dark at the top, gradually lightening towards the bottom, and the bowl casts a shadow on the surface below it. The dish has a wide lip with small chips and a light rim. The bowl sits on a flat surface.
