Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a tall, dark gray vase by artist Leach, titled "Vase". The vase has a wide mouth with a small lip around the top and a narrow base. The body of the vase is tall and cylindrical, with a slightly curved shape. The surface of the vase appears to be made of ceramic or stone and has a rough texture with visible imperfections and a dark gray color with lighter gray patches. The background of the image is a plain light grey wall. A small white sign with the number "507" is placed in front of the vase on the right side. There are also two small labels on the surface in front of the vase but are illegible. The vase is placed on a white surface.
