Hexagonal vase with stylized phoenix handles

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase is dark-colored, possibly black or dark gray. The vase has a hexagonal body with curved sides that bulge outward in the middle. The vase has a narrow, flared mouth and a small, square base. There are two handles on either side of the vase, near the top. The handles are stylized phoenix or bird-like creatures with curved beaks and legs. The background of the image is light gray. The overall style of the vase appears to be Asian-inspired, likely Chinese. The vase appears to be made of ceramic or metal.
