Vase

George E. Ohr

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase by George E. Ohr is a ceramic piece with a predominantly dark blue color and white specks. The body of the vase is irregularly shaped, featuring a bulbous form at the bottom that tapers and then expands into a wider section near the top. A distinctive protrusion extends from the lower part of the vase's body. The base of the vase is circular and flat. The top opening is round and has a light-colored interior rim. The overall appearance of the vase is glossy, suggesting a glazed finish.
