Miniature Vase by Isamu Noguchi: A small, dark-colored ceramic vase with a narrow neck and a bulbous body. The vase has a short, circular base. The body of the vase is darker at the top and gradually lightens towards the bottom. The surface is covered in a textured, speckled glaze. The top of the vase is narrower than the body. The background of the image is light-colored and featureless. The photograph is in black and white.
