Meiping vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Meiping vase by the artist is a black vase with a narrow neck and a wide, rounded body that tapers towards the bottom. The vase has a glossy finish and features a large, irregularly shaped greenish-gray patch on its front side, extending from the middle to the bottom. The base of the vase is a reddish-brown color and appears to be unglazed. The background of the image is a plain off-white color, with the vase casting a shadow on the surface below it.
