Vase

George E. Ohr

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Multicolored vase with a wide mouth and irregular shape, featuring a predominantly red, blue, green, and beige color scheme with a glossy finish. The vase has a bulbous body with an uneven surface, a narrow opening at the top, and a rounded base. The colors are applied in a seemingly random and organic manner, with visible splotches and splatters. The background is a plain gray color. Vase by George E. Ohr.
