Wine cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Wine cup by an unknown artist shows a white ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base, sitting on a small foot. The bowl is a light grayish white color with a smooth glossy interior. A black number "693" is painted on the exterior. The bowl sits on a textured surface, possibly a tablecloth or fabric, with a darker background behind it. A small white label with black text reading "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM" is partially visible in front of the bowl.
