Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Vase by Albert Rucker features a turquoise vase with a wide mouth that tapers down to a narrow neck before expanding into a bulbous body and tapering down again to a narrow base. The vase has a glossy finish and showcases a marbled effect with streaks of purple and pink throughout the turquoise glaze. The interior of the vase is white. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
