Covered Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Covered Vase by artist, is white with a square base. The base has a raised design around the bottom. The body of the vase is bulbous at the bottom and narrows to a neck then flares out to a rounded body. Two intricately designed handles protrude from either side. A thin line of decoration encircles the top of the body. A raised oval design on the body depicts a landscape scene. A thin metal band with a black background and raised dots encircles the lid. A small knob tops the lid. The handles, base design, and oval design are silver. The background is gray.
