Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase by artist is red and white. The vase has a wide, rounded body that tapers inwards towards the top and bottom. The top portion of the vase is white while the rest is red. The red glaze appears darker at the bottom and lighter at the top. The base of the vase is small and flat with a thin white rim. The background is a gradient of dark grey to light grey. The vase casts a shadow on the surface below it.
