The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture titled "Vase" by the artist appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain. The sculpture resembles a flower or plant with a bulbous body that tapers to a point at the top, with long, thin, curved protrusions. The body of the sculpture is a light brown color with a glossy finish, adorned with green leaves around the base. It sits on a dark wooden stand with four legs and a decorative base. The stand has a carved design around the top edge. The background of the image is a plain light gray color. The overall shape of the sculpture is tall and narrow, with the majority of the height being the flower or plant.
