Vase by William J. Walley. The vase is bulbous with a rounded body that tapers to a small base. The vase has a wide mouth with a flared rim. The vase is primarily a dark red color with streaks of lighter red and beige glaze. The glaze on the top portion of the vase appears to have dripped down, creating streaks. The background is a gradient of gray.
