Vase

Dedham Pottery

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase has a wide mouth and a narrow neck. The body of the vase is bulbous in the middle and tapers towards the bottom. The vase is made of ceramic material and features a predominantly reddish-brown glaze with a glossy finish. The glaze is unevenly applied with visible drips and runs down the sides, giving it a textured, organic appearance. A thin gold line encircles the base of the vase. The background of the image is a plain grey color. The title of the piece is "Vase" and it was created by Dedham Pottery.
