Miniature Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Miniature vase by Artist. The vase is dark-colored, likely black, and made of a smooth material, possibly ceramic or stone. The vase has a narrow neck and a wider body that tapers in at the bottom. The top of the vase has a small, rounded knob or finial that appears to be made of a different material, possibly wood or metal, wrapped in a textured material. The background is a plain gray color. The vase sits on a flat surface, casting a slight shadow.
