Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl, by Grayson Perry, is a wide, shallow ceramic bowl with a glossy interior and exterior surface. The bowl has a rounded lip and a small, circular base. The interior of the bowl is light-colored with a reflective surface. The exterior is darker and more matte. A small, raised design is present on the interior base. The background of the image is white, with a small gray rectangle at the bottom center bearing text that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM".
