Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Vase by Grayson Perry features a white base color with blue and purple streaks running down its body. The vase has a wide, wavy rim at the top with a predominantly purple color that transitions to blue and white towards the bottom. A short, thick stem connects the base to the body. The base of the vase is round and flat with a similar color scheme to the rim. The background is a light gray color with a shadow cast to the right of the vase. The overall shape resembles a traditional urn or chalice.
