Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two white vases by the artist titled "Vase". The vases have a wide lip at the top that tapers to a narrower section below, then widens into a bulbous body. They are decorated with raised white designs that are applied to the surface. The designs feature leaves, berries, flowers, a bow, and insects. The vases each have two handles that are attached on either side near the top and bottom. The background of the image is a plain light-colored wall. The vases are sitting on a flat surface.
