The vase by artist William Morris is a black and white image of an ornate vase. The vase is bulbous at the bottom with a narrow neck that flares out at the top. The vase has a wide mouth with a flat rim. The vase is decorated with intricate designs and patterns, including a band of geometric shapes around the neck and a band of foliage around the body. There are four rectangular panels on the vase, two on the body and two on the neck, each depicting a different scene with trees and foliage. The background of the image is a plain wall, and the vase appears to be sitting on a table or shelf.
