Molded Flask

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Small, rectangular ceramic flask with lid, Molded Flask by Isamu Noguchi, featuring a cylindrical neck and four small feet, exhibiting a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging and wear, including a rough texture and faded decorative patterns. The body of the flask is adorned with abstract, swirling designs and geometric patterns. A series of small, triangular shapes encircles the top of the flask, while a wavy line design adorns the lower portion. The object's surface appears primarily gray with patches of lighter and darker shades, indicating age and wear.
