The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark blue vase with a wide mouth and narrow base, adorned with gold accents and ornaments. The vase has a wide, rounded body that tapers to a narrow foot. Gold decorations are on the rim, handles, and base. A gold base with curved, scroll-like designs supports the vase. A gold tree-like structure protrudes from the top, featuring multiple flowers and leaves. The background is a solid dark blue color. The artist is not visible, but the title is "Vase".
