Meiping (Plum Blossom) Vase

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Meiping vase by artist has a beige color with darker beige decorative elements. The vase is roughly 1/3 taller than it is wide. The top of the vase has a short cylindrical opening with a rounded lip. The body of the vase curves outward then tapers to a narrower base. The vase has four horizontal lines encircling it, with the top and bottom lines being the shortest. There are two sets of identical floral designs on either side, with each design consisting of curving stems and leaves. The background is a black to gray gradient. The vase casts a shadow on the surface it rests on.
