DescriptionOne in a set of three porcelain vases. The body of the vase is smooth and white. A tall neck, formed from a thin slab of clay and wrapped loosely in a circle, extends upwards from the body of the vase, seemingly pinned in place by four blue and white protrusions; three clustered around where the edge of the neck wraps around itself, and one on the opposite side. A thin horizontal slit on the side of the neck is lined with blue and interrupted by three circular holes. This slit is bordered on top and bottom by two bumps, which feature cracked black textures that split into organic openings. The inside of the vessel is tan.
