Square Cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a dark-colored, glossy, ceramic or stone bowl titled "Square Cup". The object is a container with an asymmetrical shape. The front features a flat base and sides that curve upward to form the bowl, with one side higher than the other. A decorative oval shape with a raised design projects from the left side, near the front edge. The base of the object appears to have small feet on each corner. The background of the image is white. A small ruler or measuring device is visible at the bottom.
