Teabowl by Ruth Duckworth. The bowl is ceramic with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl's coloration features a dark blue upper section with a jagged line transitioning to a reddish-brown lower section. The interior appears to have a lighter brown color with a shiny appearance. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The bowl casts a shadow to the right.
