It presents and discusses almost one hundred hidden treasures from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection - not only vases but also wine and water urns knife boxes ink wells perfume burners fabrics carved paneling marquetry furniture silver works on paper and paintings - all using the vase motif.
