Amphora Vase

Chinese Qing Dynasty

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a vase with an elongated neck and a flared rim. It is primarily deep red in color with subtle variations in shade, transitioning to a more muted pink and cream-like hue near the top, with small specks of green scattered on the neck area. The material appears to be ceramic or porcelain due to its smooth, glossy surface and delicate appearance. The vase stands upright, with a classic, elegant silhouette that is broad at the base and tapers towards the neck, then flares out into a wide rim.
