Covered bowl with floral patterns

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of two ceramic pieces. The piece on the left is a covered bowl with a wide, shallow body and a narrow, circular indentation on top. The bowl on the right is wider and deeper. Both pieces have floral patterns and are made of ceramic material. The bowl on the right has smoke rising from it. The background appears to be a table or shelf with a light-colored surface. A small ruler or scale is positioned to the left of the bowls. The bowls are positioned side by side. The image is in black and white. The bowls have intricate designs. The bowls appear to be antique or vintage.
