Dish

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a ceramic dish. The dish has a wide, shallow bowl shape. It appears to be glazed with shades of brown and green. A darker brown color is present on the base and fades to shades of green towards the edges. A network of dark brown cracks covers the surface of the dish. The inside of the dish has a dark brown center that transitions to a lighter brown towards the rim. The background of the image is a plain gray surface. The dish "Dish" is by the artist Bernard Leach.
