This image shows a fragment of a ceramic or porcelain bowl. The piece is partially broken, with jagged edges where it has fractured. The remaining portion has a pale grayish-green glaze with visible crackling, likely due to age or intentional design. There is a subtle circular pattern at the center, hinting at the original decoration of the vessel. The interior surface is smooth, while the outer edges reveal a raw, earthy texture where the break occurred.

The image shows a fragment of a ceramic bowl or dish. The piece is broken, with only a portion of the original object remaining. The ceramic has a light blue or greyish glaze with a crackled surface, characteristic of certain types of pottery glazes that develop a network of fine cracks. The break edges reveal the underlying material, which appears to be a reddish-brown earthenware or stoneware. The glaze is still largely intact on the fragment, indicating it was once part of a larger, complete piece, likely with decorative or utilitarian use. The background is a plain white surface, emphasizing the irregular shape and texture of the ceramic fragment.
