Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl by artist William Morris, titled "Bowl", is a black and white photograph of a ceramic bowl. The bowl has a wide, shallow shape with a scalloped edge. The exterior is primarily white with three dark floral motifs, one on the front and one on each side. A thin black line encircles the base. The interior features a large floral medallion in the center, surrounded by a dark background with light-colored floral patterns and curving lines. The bowl sits on a flat surface, casting a shadow. The background is a plain, light-colored surface.
