The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a glass vase titled "Hurricane Shade" by an unknown artist. The vase is tall and clear with a wide mouth and a narrow base. It has three decorative metal bands around it. The top and bottom bands are narrow with a design of leaves and flowers. The middle band is wider and features a more intricate design with leaves, flowers, and scrollwork. The background of the image is light gray, and the vase casts a slight shadow on the surface below it. The image is in black and white. The vase is centered in the image.
