Bird feeder with geese

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white porcelain bowl with a blue design. The bowl is bulbous with a narrow base. A blue line encircles the bowl at the rim and at the bottom. A thin brown line borders the rim. The blue design on the bowl depicts birds among foliage. A larger bird appears to the left and a smaller one to the right. The background is plain gray. The bowl appears to be titled "Bird feeder with geese" by an unknown artist.
