Vase

Louis C. Tiffany

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Bulbous vase with a narrow neck and rounded body, featuring a predominantly yellow and brown color scheme with subtle hints of purple and blue. The vase exhibits a glossy, iridescent sheen. Vertical, wavy lines traverse the vase, accompanied by irregularly shaped indentations that are darker than the surrounding areas. The background is black, with a light source positioned below the vase, casting a shadow on the surface beneath it.
