Vase

Louis C. Tiffany

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase by Louis C. Tiffany is a bulbous, rounded vessel with a wide mouth. It has a dark blue-gray base color. The vase features an organic, abstract design with swirling patterns of brown, green, and light blue. The colors are blended and layered, creating a marbled effect. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to white at the bottom. A shadow is cast to the left of the vase.
