This round ceramic bowl has a distinctive brown glaze. The lip is black and the rim immediately under it is bronze brown. From there, copper-orange rivulets trickle down the sides of the bowl and intermingle with black veins below. The bottom of the bowl has an uneven, wavy base. The bowl is photographed against a background that lightens from gray along the top to white along the bottom.
