Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Bowl by artist. Light blue-green ceramic bowl with crackled surface. The bowl is rounded with a wide mouth and a small foot. The foot is circular and has a brown color at the bottom. The crackled pattern on the bowl resembles fine lines. The background of the image is dark gray, with the bowl casting a shadow on the light gray surface below. The bowl is positioned at an angle. The interior of the bowl is lighter than the exterior. The bowl's glaze covers the entire surface except for the foot.
