The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The ceramic tea bowl features a wide mouth and a short foot. The exterior showcases a predominantly brown and beige color scheme. A repeating pattern of horizontal bands encircles the bowl, comprising various designs including chevrons, zigzags, and stylized flowers. The interior appears worn, with visible signs of use. The background is a plain gray surface with a subtle shadow cast by the bowl to the right. The artist's work is titled "Tea bowl with decoration of chrysanthemums and wavy lines".
