Vase

Dedham Pottery

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Dedham Pottery vase features a predominantly brown and green color scheme. The vase has a narrow opening at the top that widens into a bulbous body with a narrow neck. The exterior of the vase exhibits a rough texture. The glaze appears uneven, with streaks and patches of color. The colors transition from light brown on the upper and left side to dark green on the lower and right side. A vertical streak of dark green runs down the center of the vase, accompanied by smaller streaks and splatters of the same color on the surrounding areas. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
