Vase, Meiping Shape

Chinese Qing Dynasty

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a vase with a simple design. It is white and appears to be made of porcelain or ceramic material with a glossy finish. The vase has a rounded, tapered body that extends into a narrower neck and flares out slightly at the mouth and base. An embossed subtle decorative element can be seen near the upper portion of the vase. The overall appearance of the vase is smooth and symmetrical, reflecting light evenly across its surface.
