Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl, by Grayson Perry, is a rounded ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl appears to be glossy and reflective with a dark color at the bottom that fades into a lighter shade towards the top. It has a slightly rough texture visible on its surface. The bowl is positioned on a white surface and background, with a shadow cast to the right.
