Dish

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Round, shallow dish with a wide mouth and a small, flat base. The interior and exterior of the rim is glazed a blue-green color with some brown discoloration and chipped edges. The glaze appears to be unevenly applied, with a more vibrant blue color near the rim that fades to a lighter brown towards the center. The base of the dish is a light brown color. The dish has a decorative edge with a wavy pattern. The background is a plain, off-white color. "Dish" by artist.
