Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase by artist Kiyomizu is a tall, slender vessel with a wide mouth and narrow neck. The body of the vase is bulbous, tapering down to a narrow base. It has a dark color with small, lighter-colored speckles throughout. The vase appears to be made of ceramic or glass and has a glossy finish. The background of the image is light gray, and the vase casts a shadow on the surface below it.
