Dish on stem foot

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a ceramic dish with a stem foot. The dish is round and has a wide mouth. It sits on a short, flared foot. The body of the dish is glazed and has a lighter color than the foot. The foot is unglazed and has a darker color. There are four protruding decorations around the upper part of the dish. The decorations are teardrop-shaped, with the pointed end facing down, and circular with several small dots in the center. The background is a gradient of light and dark, with the dish sitting on a flat surface. The overall style suggests it is an antique piece.
