Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Vase by Bernard Palissy, depicts a white ceramic vase. The vase has a wide mouth with a small lip around the rim. Its body is tall and tapers outward to a wider middle section before tapering back in to a circular base. The surface features a raised relief design resembling tree bark or moss, with irregular bumps and ridges. A raised branch-like pattern runs vertically down the center. The background of the image is gray.
