Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Vase by René Lalique features a glass object with a wide top that tapers down to a narrower base. The object has a purple, pink, and black marbled color scheme. A smaller protrusion extends from the lower left side. The base is hexagonal. The object has a glossy finish, reflecting light and casting a shadow to the right. The background is gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
