Gourd-Shaped Bottle

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Gourd-Shaped Bottle by an unknown artist depicts a white vase with red accents. The vase is composed of two connected spheres. The top sphere is smaller and has a short neck with a small opening at the top. The larger bottom sphere has a wider base. Both spheres feature a red design of a fish surrounded by wavy lines. The background of the image is dark gray, transitioning to light gray towards the bottom. A shadow is cast by the vase onto the surface below it.
