Flower vase
The "Flower vase" by an unknown artist shows a white vase with a raised design featuring flowers. The vase is tall and cylindrical with a slightly irregular rim; the base is square. The body of the vase depicts raised flowers with rounded petals and a raised line curling around the vase in a spiral pattern; a small bird sits on the line near the base of the vase. The number "727" is handwritten on the vase between the spiral line and flowers on the right. The image is in black and white. The vase sits on a surface with a small ruler to the left and text reading 'THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM' to the right. The background is a plain wall.
