The vase by Dedham Pottery is a ceramic vase. The vase has a wide body that tapers to a narrower opening at the top. The body of the vase is bulbous and roughly symmetrical. The vase sits on a small circular base. The glaze on the vase is multicolored with shades of brown, green, blue, red, and purple. The glaze appears to be dripped and uneven with a glossy finish. The background of the image is light gray. The vase takes up most of the image.
