Pedestalled Vessel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Pedestalled Vessel by an unknown artist is a ceramic vase. The vase has a wide, round mouth with a short neck. The body of the vase is bulbous. The base of the vase is pedestaled, wider at the bottom than at the top where it meets the body. The vase is primarily beige with reddish-brown lines and accents. The lines are etched into the vase in a concentric circular pattern. The background of the image is gray. The vase casts a shadow on the surface below.
