Celery vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a dark amber-colored glass vase with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The vase has a flared rim, a rounded body with vertical ridges, and a short stem. The base is circular and flat. The glass is transparent and has a glossy finish, reflecting light and appearing to shift in color from dark brown to yellow. The background is a plain gray color, with a slight shadow cast by the vase on the surface below it. The overall style of the vase is reminiscent of a wine glass. The title of the image is "Celery vase" by artist "Unknown".
