The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Box base by artist is a white porcelain container with a rounded cylindrical shape, approximately 3-4 inches tall and 5-6 inches wide. The box has a dark brown rim around the top edge. The body of the box features a colorful landscape design, including trees with red and green leaves, rocks, and a pagoda-like structure in the background. The landscape design wraps around the entire circumference of the box. The box sits on a beige fabric surface, with a beige wall behind it. The overall color palette is predominantly white, with accents of brown, red, green, and orange.
