Dish with dragon amid waves

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White ceramic bowl with rounded sides and a flat base. The interior of the bowl features a blue design on a white background. The design consists of a large circular motif centered on the bowl's interior. Within this circle is a blue dragon facing the left side of the image. The dragon has a rounded body covered in scales. It has a small head with a short snout and a horn on its forehead. The dragon's body forms swirling waves that extend from its body. The waves are depicted as curved lines with white highlights. The circle containing the dragon is outlined with two thin blue lines. A single thin blue line runs along the rim of the bowl. The background of the image is dark at the top, transitioning to light gray towards the bottom. The bowl casts a faint shadow on the surface below it. The bowl is titled "Dish with dragon amid waves" by an unknown artist.
