Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a black vase by artist Kiyomizu. The vase is glossy black with a narrow mouth and a wide body that tapers to a narrower base. It has a shiny glaze. The base and lip of the vase are a lighter gray color. The base of the vase appears to be flat. The background of the image is a medium gray color, with the vase casting a shadow to the left. The surface that the vase is sitting on appears to have a canvas-like texture. There is writing on the left side of the vase. Light reflections are visible on the vase.
