Covered Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two identical white porcelain vases with lids. The vases are positioned side by side, and their bodies are bulbous in the middle and taper towards the top and bottom. The vases have a circular design on the front with a flower in the center. The vases are decorated with a floral pattern around the body and a geometric pattern around the neck. The lids are domed with a small knob on top. The vases each have three handles, two of which are wavy. The background of the image is white. The vases are titled "Covered Vase" by artist.
