Set of Five Small Dishes (Kozara) with Turnip

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Five small white ceramic dishes with blue rim and blue turnip design on inside. Dishes are round and shallow. The blue rim is on both the inside and outside of the dishes. The blue turnip design on the inside features a turnip with a round body, short stem and six leaves. The background of the image is gray. The set of dishes are arranged as one dish standing on its side showing the interior design, implying the four other dishes are similar. The set is titled "Set of Five Small Dishes (Kozara) with Turnip" by an unknown artist.
