Vase, Meiping Shape

Chinese Qing Dynasty

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a white ceramic vase. The image shows a smooth, elegantly shaped vase with a full, rounded body that tapers gently towards the base and neck. The vase is finished with a soft white glaze. On its surface, there is a faint decorative element or relief that appears to be an ornamental swirl or scroll near its upper section. The background is a neutral, understated tone.
