Container for Bulbs

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Container for Bulbs by an unknown artist is a light green, rounded bowl. The bowl's exterior features approximately 15 raised bumps around its rim. Three small feet protrude from the bottom of the bowl, which appears to have a smooth interior surface. The bowl's exterior and interior are glazed in a light green color. The background of the image is gray and darkens towards the top. A shadow is cast to the right of the bowl.
