Two tall bottle vases with long necks and round bodies, glazed in deep, uniform cobalt blue on a dark studio background.

Pair of Blue Bottle Vases

Two matching porcelain bottle vases stand side by side, each with a tall, slender neck flaring to a rounded body. The even, deep blue glaze is unbroken and reflects soft highlights, with no painted decoration visible against a dark studio backdrop.

Look closer: A faint glint of light marks the rim of the left vase's mouth, showing the thin edge of the porcelain.
