Covered bowl with chrysanthemums

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of two ceramic pieces. The piece on the left is a covered bowl base, rounded, wider at the top; the top rim is missing. The piece on the right is a bowl, rounded, with a wide mouth. Both pieces have a design of chrysanthemums, leaves and berries. The artwork is titled "Covered bowl with chrysanthemums" by an unknown artist. A ruler and a label are on the surface in front of the pieces. The background appears to be a wrinkled plastic sheet.
