Water coupe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a ceramic vessel titled "Water Coupe" by the artist. The vessel has a wide, rounded body with a short neck and a small opening at the top. The body is predominantly a muted reddish-brown color, with a darker red tone around the edges. A circular design featuring intricate red swirling patterns is etched into the center of the body. The short neck is green and red at the top where it meets the body, with a small white rim around the opening. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
