Minature vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The miniature vase by the artist has a green and white color scheme. The vase body is predominantly white with small, dark green or grey spots covering its surface. The rim of the vase is a solid dark green color. The vase shape is elongated with a narrow neck and a flared mouth. The base of the vase appears to be slightly wider than the bottom, which is not visible due to its small size and positioning. The background is plain and light-colored, likely white or off-white, with a shadow cast to the right of the vase.
