Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl, by Bernard Leach, is a dark-colored, ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl's interior and exterior surfaces are rough and uneven, with visible speckles and texture. It has a small foot at the bottom. The bowl is positioned at an angle, with the front facing slightly to the right. The background is a plain, light-colored surface, possibly a table or countertop, with a shadow cast by the bowl on the right side.
