Meiping vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Meiping vase by artist is a black vase with a glossy, cracked glaze and a white rim. The vase has a narrow opening at the top, a rounded body that curves outward in the middle, and tapers inward toward the base. The vase appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain. The background is gray, with the vase casting a shadow to the left.
