The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and rounded body. The interior of the bowl features a black geometric pattern resembling a flower or sunburst, composed of concentric circles and lines forming a grid-like design. The pattern starts from a small circular indentation at the center and radiates outward. The background of the image is gray, and the bowl casts a shadow on the surface below. The artist of this piece is Bernard Leach. The title of the piece is "Dish".
