Bowl with Saucer Cover

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of two ceramic pieces. The piece on the left is a bowl with a saucer cover. The bowl and saucer are decorated with a pattern of lines and shapes. The bowl is on the right; it has a wide mouth and a narrow base. The saucer cover is on the left; it is round and has a circular indentation in the center. The background is a light-colored surface with a translucent white material draped behind the pieces. A small ruler or measuring device is placed in front of the saucer cover on the left side. The artist is not visually identifiable in the image.
