The Meiping vase by the artist has a white body with a glossy glaze. The vase is shaped like a meiping, with a narrow mouth, a rounded body that is wider at the middle, and a narrow base. The neck of the vase is short and narrow. There are light-colored floral scrolls etched into the body. The background of the image is gray. The vase casts a shadow on the surface below it.
