Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White vase with pink undertones and floral designs by artist William Moorcroft. The vase has a wide mouth and a narrow neck that flares out slightly at the top. The base is bulbous and features raised floral designs. The body of the vase has vertical pink lines running down it, with white glaze covering most of the surface. There are also raised white floral designs around the lower part of the vase. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The overall style is art nouveau.
