Bowl with petal-shaped rim

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White ceramic bowl with a petal-shaped rim. The bowl is shiny and has a glossy finish. It is positioned on a short, circular base that appears to be a different material, possibly unglazed ceramic. The rim of the bowl has a wavy edge, resembling the shape of a flower petal. The bowl is centered in the image and casts a shadow on the surface below it. The background is a plain, off-white color.
