Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase by artist is a ceramic object with a narrow base that widens into a rounded body, then narrows and flares out at the top. The vase has a glossy finish with a crackle pattern glaze that is primarily white with red accents. The red accents are at the top inside of the vase, the bottom, and a band around the middle. The base of the vase appears to have a small, unglazed rim. The background is a plain off-white color.
