Pilgrim vase

Union Porcelain Works

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The object, a Pilgrim vase by Union Porcelain Works, has a light-colored body. It features raised rectangular shapes around its circumference, with one large one across the middle. The middle section displays black writing, including the letters "U.P.W." at the top. A stick figure-like drawing with a sunburst on its head is below the letters. The numbers "1", "7", "8", and "6" are written around the drawing. The background behind the object is blue. A black area appears behind the right and lower sections.
