The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a blue and white vase with a distinctive double-bulb shape. The lower bulb has a round body with a flat base and a short neck, while the upper bulb tapers into a narrower neck with a small opening at the top. The vase features a white background with blue designs. The lower bulb showcases six blue medallions, each containing a scenic landscape. The upper bulb displays a blue floral pattern with white accents, while the neck has a blue and white geometric design. The vase stands on a gray surface with a gradient background transitioning from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
