Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase, by artist Koetake, is tall and slender with a narrow neck and wide mouth. The vase is yellow-orange with a glossy finish. Small dark flecks are scattered throughout. The body of the vase tapers in from a wider base up to a narrower middle section before widening slightly at the neck. The background is gray and darker at the top, with a shadow cast by the vase to the right.
