My wife and I received this vase from a teacher of Middle East History that we both had had at separate times. We're not sure where he got it from.
Used a desk lamp with a thin towel in front of it as the light source.
I just converted from RAW with no changes, then used Hue/Saturation layer to make black and white. I used a levels layer just a touch to bring out the swirls on the dark side of the vase. Slight crop. That's all really.
