Beaker by Oliver Trask. The image shows a tall, cylindrical metal beaker with a slightly flared opening. The beaker has a dark, metallic color and appears to be made of a thick, heavy material. It has a flat base and a rounded lip at the top. There are four horizontal bands around the beaker's body, with the top and bottom bands being narrower than the middle two. The beaker's surface is scratched and marked with spots of discoloration. It is set against a plain gray background, with a shadow cast to the right. The beaker is centered in the image.
