The vase titled "Vase with a display of antiques" by the artist is white with blue illustrations. The vase has a narrow mouth and a wider body that tapers to a narrow base. It features a blue and white design with what appears to be a plant or tree on one side, and a symbol on the neck. The body of the vase has additional blue designs that are not clearly defined. The background of the image is gray with a shadow cast by the vase. The vase appears to be ceramic or porcelain. The design on the vase seems to be traditional or antique in style.
