Meiping vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Meiping vase by the artist is a bulbous, red ceramic vase. The vase has a narrow opening at the top with a small white rim around the edge. The body of the vase is a rounded, bulbous shape that tapers down to a narrower base. The color is a deep, rich red with a glossy finish, reflecting light. The background is a plain, light-colored surface. The vase appears to be symmetrical and balanced in shape. The overall appearance suggests it is a traditional Chinese vase.
