Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Vase by Kosta Boda features a glass object with a wide mouth, tapering down to a narrower middle section before flaring out again at the base. The object is symmetrical, with the top and bottom parts being wider than the middle. The surface appears smooth and shiny. The object sits on a flat surface against a plain background. A ruler-like object is placed in front of it.
