The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Vase by Artist is a teal-colored, glossy vase with a wide mouth and narrow base. The vase has a wide, flared opening at the top. The body of the vase is bulbous in the middle and tapers down to a narrow base. The vase appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain and has a shiny, reflective surface. The background of the image is a plain off-white color, with a shadow cast by the vase on the surface below it.
