Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Vase by Kuo Chien-Chung is a dark brown, bulbous vessel with a wide mouth and narrow base. The vase has a short neck and a small, flat lip that extends outward from the top. The base of the vase is round and flat with a series of three raised rings around it. The vase's body is bulbous with a slight indentation on the left side and speckled spots across it. The background of the image is a light gray color, transitioning to dark gray at the top.
