Tall Stem Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a tall, stemmed bowl, by an unknown artist titled "Tall Stem Bowl". The bowl is made of a light-colored material, possibly ceramic or stone. The bowl's body is bulbous and rounded with a wide mouth. The stem connecting the bowl to the base is thick and narrows slightly towards the bottom. The base of the bowl is wide and flat with a series of horizontal lines around the stem. The surface of the bowl has dark spots and lines throughout, giving it a worn appearance. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The bowl is centered in the image and casts a shadow on the surface below it.
