DescriptionIt features a cream colored body that shades to a deep pink hue at the shoulder of the vessel. There are two knobs at the base of the vase’s neck that are reflective of other Morgan Vase facsimiles. The surface of the piece is further adorned with a metallic stain that gives the faint brown naturalistic veining.
