The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Tea Bowl with Marbleized Veneer by Grayson Perry. The bowl is rounded with a short narrow foot and no handle. The bowl is light beige with a pattern of raised flowers. The pattern resembles marbling with shades of light brown on a lighter background. The bowl's exterior is decorated with the marbleized pattern. The background of the image is a gradient gray. The bowl casts a slight shadow on the surface below it. The image is taken from the side with the front of the bowl slightly angled toward the viewer. The image is well lit.
