Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark gray ceramic bowl, wide and shallow with a rounded body, narrow base, and slightly raised lip around the rim. The bowl's surface appears smooth with subtle variations in tone and texture, some lighter spots and darker patches. It sits on a flat, light-colored surface with a slight shadow underneath. The artist is unknown but often attributed to Bernard Leach. Title: Bowl.
