Vase
A slender porcelain vase with a flaring mouth, a long neck, and a full, tapering body rests on a plain grey ground. Its smooth, glossy moonlight glaze is an even pale blue, with soft highlights along the shoulder and no painted decoration.
Look closer: A faint shadow and subtle glaze reflections along the base suggest the vase's unglazed foot ring.
