A ceramic vase with a landscape painting on it. The vase has two small handles on either side near the top. The vase is mostly rectangular in shape with a flat base and slightly rounded corners. The vase is painted with a scene of two cows standing in a body of water. One cow is white with a black tail and the other cow is black and white. A large tree with green leaves stands to the right of the cows. There are trees and greenery in the background under a blue and white sky. The vase has a gold-colored base and top. The gold color is chipped and worn off in places. The background behind the vase is gray.
