The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Teal glass bottle with a wide body and narrow neck. The body is bulbous and roughly cylindrical with a flat base. The surface features a series of diagonal ribs or ridges that spiral around the body. The narrow neck is slightly flared at the top with a flat rim. The glass colour is a medium-dark teal. The background is a gradient from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
