Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase by Isamu Noguchi is a bulbous-shaped vessel with a narrow opening at the top. The vase has two small handles on either side, positioned near the top. The surface of the vase features a cracked, glaze effect in a dark color, resembling a network of fine lines. The base of the vase is circular and flat. The overall shape is asymmetrical, with the body curving outward then tapering slightly toward the top.
