Meiping vase with floral patterns

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase by an unknown artist, titled "Meiping vase with floral patterns", is a light green, ceramic vessel. The body of the vase is a pale green with darker green floral patterns encircling the vessel. The vase has a narrow neck and a small mouth. The base of the vase is a narrow, rounded form which tapers out to a wider middle section and then tapers back in to the narrower neck. The base of the vase appears to have a brown unglazed section. The background of the image is a plain white surface and textured white wall.
