Stem-foot Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white ceramic bowl titled "Stem-foot Bowl" by an unknown artist. The bowl has a wide, shallow body with a flat rim and a narrow stem-like foot. The bowl is symmetrical and appears to be made of ceramic material. It has a light-colored, almost white glaze with visible imperfections and small dark spots scattered across its surface. The base of the bowl has a series of small holes or indentations around its circumference. The bowl sits on a flat surface against a dark background, casting a shadow to the left.
