Bottle Vase

Chinese Qing Dynasty

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a vase. It has an elegant, rounded shape tapering slightly downward to a flat base. The exterior is adorned with a deep red glaze, mixed with softer off-white mottled patterns. The material appears to be ceramic with a smooth, lustrous finish typical of glazed pottery. The vase stands vertically with an open mouth at the top.
