Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a vase by artist Louis Comfort Tiffany. The vase has a wide body with a diamond-shaped pattern and a narrow neck. The vase is bulbous with a rounded body. The body has a textured surface featuring raised diamond shapes arranged in a grid-like pattern. The top portion of the vase tapers inward to form the neck. The mouth of the vase is flared slightly. The background is a plain wall with the vase casting a shadow on the surface below. The surface appears to be a table or shelf.
