The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black vase titled "Gallipot" by an unknown artist. The vase is bulbous with a narrow mouth and rounded body that tapers slightly towards the base. The vase has a glossy dark gray and black glaze with fine crackle lines across the surface. It appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain. The background of the image is a plain light grey color. A ruler is visible at the bottom left of the image for scale. The vase is centered in the image and is shown from the front.
