Vase

William J. Walley

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase by William J. Walley is a tall, narrow ceramic vase. The vase has a small, circular opening at the top. There are two handles on either side of the vase, near the top. The handles are curved and have a rounded shape. The vase is primarily brown with green accents. The green color is more prominent at the bottom of the vase. The green and brown glaze appears textured and irregular. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
