Bottle vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase, titled "Bottle vase", by an unnamed artist, is dark blue with a glossy finish. The top portion is wider and rounded, tapering down to a narrower base. A thin, dark metal stand supports the vase, with four curved legs attached to a thin band around its lower section. The top edge of the vase has a lighter brown color and appears slightly rough. The background is off-white, with a subtle shadow cast by the vase.
