Wine Cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Round, deep red bowl with a landscape design. A mountain, possibly triangular in shape with a flat top, is centered on the bowl. The mountain appears dark gray and is positioned behind wavy brown hills. The landscape design transitions to shades of brown towards the bottom of the bowl. Thin gold lines outline the landscape design. A small white label with black Japanese characters is on the upper right side. The bowl sits on a white fabric background. The title of the piece is "Wine Cup" and it is by an unidentified artist.
