Deep Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a ceramic bowl titled "Deep Bowl" by artist Bernard Leach. The bowl is positioned centrally in the image, shown from the front. The bowl's body is wider at the top than at the bottom, with a small circular foot. The surface is covered in a cracked glaze with a predominantly white base color that darkens towards the top. The cracks in the glaze are filled with a darker material, and there are several large, dark streaks running down the body of the bowl. The background of the image is plain white.
