Silver oxide - unless it's been used for eating eggs! Then it would be the sulphide.
There is not actually very much hydrogen sulphide in the atmosphere nowadays, but silver still tarnishes!
You can't rely on a Wikipedia stub article for everything. The best answer to this (poor) question is silver oxide.

Silver Oxide.
It is exposed to air which contains Oxygen and over time will oxidize. Just like a car will rust and cause Iron Oxide. Same reason, just different material. Hope this helps.

It is silver sulfide. It doesn't oxidize easily with O2, but hydrogen Sulfide will do the trick.

Silver sulfide is most likely. If there is a lot of polluted air with sulfur fumes that darkens the silver surface.

C. Silver oxide.
Why would it be anything not containing silver and oxygen? the stupid vase is silver, and oxygen is like the most reactive gas nearby.

Hi. The outer layer would combine with oxygen, so...
