Twin Vases

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Twin Vases by unknown artist. Two white jade vases with carved designs. The vase on the left is taller and has a rounded body tapering to a narrow base. The vase on the right is smaller with the same rounded profile. Both have wide shoulders, a short neck, and a small mouth with a flat lid. Each vase features two handles, one on either side near the top. The vases rest on ornate dark bases. The background is dark gray.
