Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl by Grayson Perry is a black, glossy, ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and a short, thick base. The bowl has a smooth, shiny surface with a few minor scratches and marks. It is symmetrical, with a rounded body that curves inward to form the bowl's interior. The rim of the bowl is slightly thickened and has a small chip on one edge. The background of the image is plain white, allowing the bowl to be the focal point.
