Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase by Dale consists of a base that is wider than the top, is rounded and irregularly shaped, with a swirling pattern of dark and light colors. The base flares out then narrows into a thin, elongated neck. The body of the vase is wider at the top with four rounded scalloped sections resembling petals. The glass material appears shiny and reflective. The background of the image is a plain light-colored surface with shadows cast by the vase.
