Vase

Louis C. Tiffany

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase by Louis C. Tiffany is a glass object with a long, thin stem that widens at the base and narrows at the top. The stem is green with a spiral pattern. The base of the vase is circular and flat, with a green color and a leaf-like design. The body of the vase is bulbous, with a rounded shape that tapers inwards towards the top. It features a predominantly blue color with yellow, purple, and brown accents, depicting what appears to be three flower petals or leaves. The background is dark, with a light source casting a shadow to the left of the vase.
