Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Vase" by the artist depicts two identical vases with a dark background and white floral designs. The vases are tall and slender with a wide mouth and narrow neck. A decorative white line borders the top of each vase. The main body of each vase features intricate white floral patterns on a dark background. The designs include leaves, flowers, and geometric shapes. A triangular motif is visible on the upper middle section of each vase. The vases have a small lip at the top and a flat base. They are placed side by side on a plain surface against a plain wall background. A small ruler or scale is visible at the bottom of the image.
