The vase by an unknown artist. The vase is white with a wide base that tapers slightly and then curves out to a wider body before curving back in to a narrow neck. The vase features a black and white design with various scenes and floral patterns. The scenes appear to depict people in a landscape setting with trees, flowers, and other foliage. The background of the image is gray.
