Associated Names

Edward White

Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image shows a large, transparent glass vessel with a narrow neck and two small spouts protruding from either side of its rounded body. The color palette is predominantly soft shades of green with subtle highlights and shadows accentuating the glass's transparency and reflective surface. The vase occupies most of the composition, and the two spouts extend outward, one pointing slightly to the left and the other to the right, against a plain, off-white background.
