Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image displays a black vase. The vase has a wide mouth and a narrow neck that flares out slightly at the top. The body of the vase is bulbous and tapers in towards the bottom. It sits on a small, round base. The vase appears to be made of a dark-colored material, possibly ceramic or glass, and has a smooth, glossy finish. A small white sticker with a number is on the base. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The artist of the vase is unknown, but the title is "Vase".
