Description

A wide, shallow bowl with a thick rounded rim and sloping sides, photographed from a raised angle against a pale backdrop. The surface is clouded and mottled with dark patches, lighter weathered areas and a few small dark spots, and the glass looks heavily corroded or iridescent in places. A few faint hairline marks run down the right side of the print.
