Bough Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a ceramic vase. The title of the piece is 'Bough Vase' by an unidentified artist. The vase features a tree trunk base with a wide top that tapers inward. A rabbit sits on the right side, looking up. A smaller rabbit to the left sits on a protrusion, looking left. The base appears to be a rocky surface. The vase has a light-colored glaze with darker shading on the tree bark. Numbers are handwritten at the bottom and top of the image.
