The Miniature meiping vase by the artist depicts a small brown vase with a glossy finish. The vase has a narrow opening at the top and a bulbous body that tapers downward. Two distinct colors are visible on the vase: the upper portion is a darker brown and the lower portion is a lighter brown. The vase is on a white surface and background. A shadow is cast to the right.
