Vases in Interactive Fiction

• 

  Advent Mirror (2022)

  > x vase (@ Windscor)

  The vase is pure white porcelain. It's miraculously intact, if somewhat hazed, after who knows how long in the blowing sand.

  [if on silk, add:] The vase rests on a flapping rag of silk. No doubt someone placed it so to protect its base from the rude rock beneath. Why they did it here you'll never know.

  Alias 'The Magpie' (2018)

  > x vase (@ Saloon)

  The short-lived Ting Dynasty is considered a low point in Chinese cultural history, in which the Oriental ceramicists allowed themselves to be influenced by the inferior Dutch artists, instead of the other way around. This vase, with its tasteless pattern of windmills and clog dancers, is typical of the period. It might fetch a couple of bob at a jumble sale, but is scarcely worthy of your attention.

• What Heart Heard Of, Ghost Guessed (2021)

  > x vase (@ Closet)

  The vase is a lumpen form made of clay and stone. At first you think it's abstract, but then you see that maybe it's supposed to be a bird. Or a witch. Or a castle. Whatever it is, it's really ugly.
  But it was made by someone you have strong feelings for. The name Ian flits through your mind.
