Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Bowl by Bernard Leach. A large, dark-colored ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base, sitting on a flat surface. The bowl has a glossy finish and appears to be made of dark brown or black ceramic material. It has a rounded body that curves inward slightly towards the top. The interior of the bowl is lighter in color than the exterior, with visible light reflections. The bowl sits on a light-colored surface, with a plain background wall behind it.
