Vase

Louis C. Tiffany

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black vase with a wide mouth and a narrow base, featuring a glossy finish and a pattern of wavy lines. The vase has an asymmetrical shape, with a larger middle section that tapers in towards the top and bottom. The wavy lines are raised and run vertically around the vase, curving slightly as they follow the contours of the shape. The background is light gray, with the vase casting a slight shadow on the surface below it. Vase by Louis C. Tiffany.
