Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The photograph shows a vase by artist Kiyomizu Rokuzan. The vase is tall and bulbous with a narrow mouth. The body of the vase is a dark color, almost black, and fades into a lighter color at the top. The vase appears to be shiny and reflective. The background of the image is light gray. There is a ruler-like object and some blurry text on the surface below the vase. The vase is centered in the image. The image is in black and white.
