Celery Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Clear glass vase, titled "Celery Vase", by an unknown artist. The vase has a round base and a short, faceted stem. The body of the vase is faceted with a grid pattern of interlocking diamonds and circles. The top of the vase flares out and has a rim with small, rounded protrusions. The background is light gray, and the vase casts a small shadow on the surface it is sitting on.
