Meiping vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Meiping vase by this artist features a ceramic body with a narrow, short neck and a wide, rounded body that tapers towards the base. The vase has a glossy glaze that transitions from a dark red-brown color at the top to a greenish-brown color towards the bottom. The glaze appears to be unevenly applied, with drips and runs visible on the upper portion of the vase. The background of the image is a plain white surface, with a subtle shadow cast by the vase.
