Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl, by artist Satsuma, is a ceramic bowl that is off-white or beige. The bowl has a wide, shallow body with a rounded interior and a small foot ring at the base. The exterior of the bowl is smooth and glossy, with a slight lip around the rim. The background of the image is a gradient of dark gray to light gray, with the bowl casting a shadow on the surface below it.
