Vase with Flowers

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a tall, narrow vase with a flared mouth and a wide base. The vase is primarily red, with a white interior and a thin gold line around the rim. The exterior features a repeating pattern of white shapes with colorful floral designs on a red background. The shapes are irregular and include rounded squares and circles. The base of the vase also has a green band with a floral pattern. The background is dark gray, with a lighter gray surface that the vase is sitting on. The overall style is reminiscent of antique Chinese porcelain. Search for "Vase with Flowers" by an unknown artist, characterized by a red body with white floral motifs and a flared mouth.
