Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Vase by Pablo Picasso is a black vase with a narrow base that widens out slightly in the middle and then tapers back in toward the top; the neck of the vase is long and slender, leading to a short lip that flares out slightly. The vase has a glossy finish. The base of the vase appears to be slightly rounded and off-white. The background is a plain gray color.
