The Meiping vase by the artist is a ceramic vase with a glossy, crackled light green glaze. The vase has a narrow neck and a wide, rounded body that tapers slightly towards the base. A pattern of fine, dark green cracks covers the surface of the vase. The background of the image is a plain light gray color, with a faint shadow visible beneath the vase.
