About this work

This is a simple clay vase with a narrow neck and a wider base. The surface is painted in bold black patterns on a light background—swirls, leaves, and wavy lines. The colors are mostly cream and dark blue-black, with some greenish-blue near the bottom. The vase looks handmade, with uneven brushstrokes and a slightly rough finish. It’s placed on a plain surface, and the paint is slightly worn in spots. If you like this style, look up flower designs in traditional ceramics next.
