Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase, by an unknown artist, is a black and white image of a white vase with a wide, wavy rim and a narrow neck that flares out at the top. The body of the vase is bulbous and tapers to a small base. The vase has a white glaze with black accents. The black accents are visible through the white glaze, creating a pattern of lines and shapes on the surface of the vase. The background is a plain gray color.
