Here's a description of the image:

The image showcases a fragment of a ceramic piece, likely from a larger item like a plate or bowl. The shard is roughly triangular in shape, with uneven edges, suggesting it's broken.

The surface of the shard appears to have a pale, light-blue or greyish-white glaze. Visible across the surface are fine crack lines, indicating a craquelure effect, a common feature in older ceramics.

On the upper part of the shard, there's a design that features a dark blue or blackish coloration. This design seems to spread down from the edge of the piece, with darker patches along the broken rim. This could possibly be a design element, perhaps a stylized landscape or abstract pattern.

The shard rests on a plain white background, which creates contrast and highlights the piece. The overall impression is of an old or antique fragment, potentially of artistic or archaeological interest.
