Cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black ceramic bowl titled "Cup" by an unidentified artist. The bowl is positioned centrally with its opening facing upwards and slightly towards the viewer. It has a wide mouth that tapers down to a narrow base. The exterior surface is glazed in a dark color with lighter patches and a visible seam at the base. The interior surface is lighter due to the glaze being thinner. The background is plain white.
