Black bottle with ribbed body and spherical finial. The bottle by artist Shreve, Richardson & Co. is tall and made of dark-colored material, likely glass or ceramic. The body of the bottle is ribbed with vertical lines running from the bottom to the top. The bottle is shaped like a teardrop, with the bottom wider than the top. The top of the bottle is narrower and has a small lip around the edge. A small, spherical finial sits on top of the bottle's stopper. The stopper is the same material as the body and matches in color. The background of the image is white, and the bottle casts a shadow on the surface below it.
