The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of two ceramic pieces. The piece on the left is a covered bowl with a floral pattern. The bowl is positioned on its side, showing the bottom. The bottom of the bowl is round with a circular indentation in the center. The bowl has a wide lip and an intricate floral design. The floral design features various flowers and leaves separated by lines. The bowl on the right is similar in design and floral pattern. The bowl on the right is positioned upright. The bowl on the right is wider than it is tall. The background is a light-colored surface with a sheet of plastic or glass. There are small labels on the surface in front of each piece. The labels are illegible. There is a partially visible piece of paper on the wall behind the bowls.
