The Gallipot by artist is a dark blue vase with a glossy finish. The vase has a narrow neck and a wide, rounded body that tapers down to a narrow base. The vase is symmetrical and appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain. The top of the vase is a slightly lighter shade of blue than the rest of the vase. The background of the image is white with a shadow cast by the vase.
