The image is of a small, round, beige-colored vase with a narrow neck and a narrow opening at the top. The vase appears to be made of clay or porcelain and has a smooth, polished finish. On the front of the vase, there is a small illustration of a bird, possibly a flying bird, with its wings spread wide and its head turned to the side. The bird is depicted in a realistic style, with intricate details and shading. The background is a plain beige color, and there is text written in Chinese characters below the illustration that translates to "Shanghai ware kettle with flying bird motif."
