The image shows a black teabowl with a glossy finish. The bowl is made of ceramic material and has a wide mouth and a narrow base. It is mostly cylindrical in shape, but the sides curve inward slightly toward the top. The exterior surface of the bowl features a bumpy texture and small white speckles. A small portion of the rim appears chipped. The bowl sits on a white surface, and there is a ruler or measuring device at the bottom left corner of the image. At the bottom right corner, text reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 1936". Teabowl by Raku Sanyū.
