Set of Five Small Dishes (Kozara) with Turnip

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White ceramic bowl with blue rim and blue vegetable design on the inside. The bowl is shallow and wide, with a rounded shape. The blue rim is darker on the outside and lighter on the inside. The blue design on the inside of the bowl depicts a vegetable, possibly a turnip, with large leaves and a bulbous body. The background of the image is dark gray, with a light source coming from the left side. The bowl is displayed on a flat surface, casting a slight shadow underneath. The image shows a set of five small dishes, but only one is visible.
