Flowerpot

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is of a ceramic piece titled "Flowerpot" by an unidentified artist. The piece is a rounded cup with a wide mouth, sitting on a short base. The cup's color transitions from pink at the bottom to blue at the top. The base of the piece is dark and has an ornate design. The background of the image is white, and the piece casts a subtle shadow on the surface it sits on. The surface appears to be a table or other flat surface covered in a white cloth. The piece is positioned centrally in the image, with a plain white background behind it.
