Six-Sided Bottle

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Six-Sided Bottle by Isamu Noguchi is a translucent brown vase with a wide base tapering to a narrower top. The vase has a faceted body with six flat sides. The surface appears smooth with a subtle sheen. A decorative band encircles the top with an etched pattern. The base features a small red label. The background is dark at the top, fading to light gray towards the bottom. The overall shape is symmetrical and the object casts a shadow.
