Bowl with Flowers and Waves

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white porcelain bowl with a floral design. The bowl is white with a wide mouth and a narrow base. It has a floral design around the middle, featuring orange flowers with green leaves on a branch. There are three horizontal green lines below the floral design. The background of the image is gray. The bowl, titled "Bowl with Flowers and Waves," appears to be by an unknown artist. A thin gold line encircles the rim of the bowl. The bowl casts a shadow on the surface below it.
