Miniature Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Miniature Vase by René Lalique. The vase is small and made of white or frosted glass. The vase has a narrow base and a wide, rounded body. The neck of the vase is long and narrow. The vase has a small lip at the top. There are two handles on either side of the vase near the top. The handles are made of glass and shaped irregularly, resembling a flower or leaves. The handles are translucent and darker than the body of the vase. The background of the image is dark gray. The object casts a shadow on the surface below it.
