Water Coupe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a ceramic vessel. The vessel, titled "Water Coupe" by an unknown artist, is a rounded, bulbous form with a wide body that tapers to a narrow neck and small opening at the top. The body of the vessel features a large circular design in the center, which appears to be an etched or carved pattern of swirling lines and shapes. The vessel has a glossy finish and exhibits darker and lighter shading in areas. A small rectangular label is placed in front of the vessel, bearing text. The background of the image is a plain light-colored surface.
