Lobed dish (one of a pair)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two white, shallow, ceramic dishes side by side on a gray surface. The dishes are identical with a wide, rounded body and a lobed rim. The lobes are rounded and evenly spaced around the rim. The dishes have a smooth, glossy finish and appear to be made of ceramic material. The background is a solid gray color with the dishes casting a slight shadow on the surface below. The image shows both dishes by artist unknown as "Lobed dish (one of a pair)".
