Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase, by an unknown artist, is a bulbous, teal-colored ceramic vase with a narrow neck. The body of the vase is bulbous and rounded, with a short, narrow neck that flares slightly at the top. The vase has a small foot at the bottom. The entire vase is covered in a crackled teal glaze. The background is a plain off-white color, with a slight shadow cast by the vase.
