Dish

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a ceramic dish titled "Dish" by the artist Grayson Perry. The dish has a wide circular shape and a plain white body. The interior features a black and white design. In the center, a flower arrangement in a vase has multiple stems with flowers and leaves. The vase is dark-colored with a narrow neck and a wide body. The flower arrangement includes large and small flowers; one large flower with a white center and several smaller flowers. Leaves are of various sizes and shapes, and a butterfly with black and white spots is on the right side. The background of the design is white, matching the body of the dish. The overall design is symmetrical yet not perfectly so, with elements arranged to create visual balance.
