Vase by George E. Ohr. The vase has a wide mouth and a narrow base. The body of the vase is irregularly shaped with two main sections, one on the left and one on the right. The left section is slightly larger than the right. The vase is glazed in shades of brown, green, and silver. The glaze is unevenly applied, with some areas appearing more glossy than others. The base of the vase is small and circular, with a slight lip around the edge. The background is a plain gray color.
