Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a light blue vase. The vase has a bulbous body and a long neck. The body of the vase is rounded at the bottom and tapers to a narrower middle section before widening into a bulb shape. The neck of the vase is long and narrow, tapering to a small opening at the top. The top of the vase's opening is white, while the rest of the vase is light blue. The vase appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain. The background of the image is dark gray, with a lighter gray surface that the vase is sitting on. A shadow is cast to the right of the vase.
