Bottle with Waves and Auspicious Emblems

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase has a narrow, trumpet-shaped mouth and a long, thin neck. The body of the vase is bulbous and tapers to a small foot. It is white with blue designs. There are wave patterns on the lower half of the vase. A four-leaf clover-like motif with a circular design in the center is also present. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
